Abstract
A resting perfusion defect detected during radioisotope myocardial per fusion imaging is generally thought to represent myocardial infarction . The administration of nitroglycerin during cardiac PET imaging resul ts in improved resting defects, which suggests transiently abnormal re sting perfusion with silent myocardial ischemia.
