Abstract
The rat precardial region was exposed to single 30-minute and course r adiations with pulse ultrasound at 2640 kHz before and after experimen tal myocardial infarction. Ligation of the left coronary artery caused an increase in Tc-99m pirphotech accumulation by 243.4 % as compared with the controls. Single and course ultrasounding after left coronary ligation substantially decreased rat myocardial isotope accumulation (by 130 and 179.1 %, respectively) and reduced the number of complicat ions, and prolonged animals' survival.
