Abstract
Tl-201 scintigraphy can be used to determine exercise-induced ischemia and the viability of the hypoperfused myocardium as a function of rad iotracer redistribution. Redistribution is calculed by differential an alysis of the normalized circumferential curves of activity, Intraveno us injection of linsidomine (SIN 1) a patent coronary vasodilatator, g ives more reliable results than conventional imaging at the 4th h, and compares favourably with the results obtained at the 24th h after rei njection of Tl-201. Linsidomine provides images in 60 to 90 min, in st able clinical conditions.
