Uptake of 99Tcm-gluconate and early histologic findings in induced myocardial infarcts in dogs.
A new isotope, 99Tcm-gluconate, for detection of myocardial infarction has been investigated experimentally. Great differences in isotope uptake between infarcted myocardium and normal myocardium were found in dogs. A close correlation was found between the isotope uptake and the uptake of basic fuchsin (HBFP) at microscopy in early myocardial infarcts.
