Background:
Several modalities are used for stress testing and require specific patient preparation. 18F-Flurodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET) is an important tool in the diagnosis and risk stratification of patients suspected of cardiac sarcoidosis and endocarditis [1-3]. There is a need for improved patient access to questions regarding cardiac testing to ensure proper adherence to instructions. We sought to evaluate the effectiveness of ChatGPT in answering questions about stress testing and cardiac FDG PET inflammation scans.
Methods And Results:
We generated fifty-eight questions about stress testing and cardiac FDG PET inflammation scans. OpenAI ChatGPT-3.5 and -4o were used to answer the questions. The answers were graded by three nuclear cardiologists as the following categories: 1 = correct and complete, 2 = somewhat correct/somewhat complete, 3 = incorrect: no benefit, or 4 = incorrect: harmful/misleading information (Table I). Of the 174 grades assigned to responses to the questions from ChatGPT-3.5, 62/174 (36%) were correct and complete, 93/174 (53%) were somewhat correct/somewhat complete, 12/174 (7%) were incorrect: no benefit, 7/174 (4%) were incorrect: harmful/misleading information. Of the grades assigned to responses to questions from ChatGPT-4o, 107/174 (61%) were correct and complete, 62/174 (36%) were somewhat correct/somewhat complete, 3/174 (2%) were incorrect: no benefit, and 2/174 (1%) were incorrect: harmful/misleading information.
Conclusions:
ChatGPT can provide some accurate responses to patient questions regarding stress tests and cardiac FDG PET inflammation studies, and its accuracy has improved over time; however, it is not suitable as a primary resource for clinical care at this stage of development.

Pulmonary Function Tests are crucial diagnostic tools for assessing respiratory function, particularly in patients with chronic respiratory disorders. They comprehensively evaluate lung volumes, ventilatory function, breathing mechanics, diffusion, and gas exchange. These tests help diagnose pulmonary diseases and play a significant role in monitoring disease progression, evaluating disability, and assessing response to therapy.

01:26Exercise Stress Test
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.
