Abstract
Increased TI-201 lung-heart ratio after treadmill exercise or pharmaco logic stress is an indicator of left ventricular dysfunction, After pn eumonectomy, it is not reliable because of increased pulmonary circula tion in the remaining lung. The authors present an example of normal s tress TI-201 myocardial perfusion imaging with an increased lung-heart ratio of TI-201 uptake.
