Figures
- FIGURE 1.
A flowchart of basic principles of recognizing and responding to deteriorating cardiac patient. BP = blood pressure; CPR = cardiopulmonary resuscitation. (Adapted with permission of (8).)
- FIGURE 2.
Summary flowchart of most likely urgent or emergency patient scenarios encountered among cardiac stress patients in PET. (Adapted with permission of (7).)
- FIGURE 3.
Schematic representation of adenosine receptor action to cause vasodilation of vascular smooth muscle. ATP = adenosine triphosphate; cAMP = cyclic adenosine monophosphate; cGMP = cyclic guanosine monophosphate; GTP = guanosine triphosphate. (Adapted with permission of (8).)
