The Nuclear Cardiology Knowledge Self-Assessment Program (NCKSAP) is designed for practitioners who are performing nuclear imaging studies and want to increase their competence for certification, recertification, or general practice improvement. Each module is available OnDemand for you to access at your convenience.

Risk Stratification, 4th Edition, has a total of 30 multiple-choice questions and includes an answer rationale and references for further studying. This module focuses on high-risk imaging findings, variables that predict prognosis, appropriateness testing and risk stratification in systemic diseases. 

This activity is designed for nuclear cardiology physicians.
Upon completion of this module, the learner will be able to:
  • Recognize high-risk imaging findings that predict prognosis (total perfusion defect size; LV size and function, LVEF reserve, RV uptake, TID, post-stress stunning; etc)
  • Discuss the implications of a normal stress study (risk <1%)
  • Discuss stress test variables that predict prognosis (Duke treadmill score, exercise time, symptoms, heart rate recovery, degree of ST depression, arrhythmia, etc.)
  • Define the extent of ischemia and benefit of revascularization
  • Discuss appropriateness of testing for risk stratification
  • Explain the prognostic and diagnostic value of myocardial blood flow and myocardial flow reserve in cardiac PET
  • Discuss risk stratification in systemic diseases such as diabetes, congestive cardiac failure, rheumatologic diseases, etc.
The overall goal of this activity is to provide a comprehensive review of nuclear cardiology imaging procedures and best practices and increase physicians’ competence and performance in their ability to improve cardiovascular disease outcomes.
