Abstract
Perfusion defects and left ventricular dilation after experimental sco rpion envenomation were evaluated in five dogs. Left ventricular dilat ion was observed in three dogs and right ventricular dilation in one o ther, in scans immediately after envenomation. Perfusion defects were inferred from scans in four dogs. The data are strongly suggestive of coronary hypoperfusion, and the mechanics of abnormal coronary flow af ter scorpion envenomation are discussed.
