title: [Echocardiokimography and scintigraphy with Tc-MIBI in left ventricular asynergy in chronic myocardial infarct. Comparison of these methods].
abstract: The study compared echocardiography, specially echocardiokimography, and myocardial scintigraphy in the evaluation of the extent of chronic myocardial infarction. Eighteen subjects were enrolled and the following examinations performed: ECG, M- and B-mode echocardiography, echocardiokimography and myocardial scintigraphy with Tc-MIBI, a new perfusion radionuclide agent. We concluded: 1) accordance between the two kinds of methods; 2) specificity of echocardiokimography; 3) advantage in using both methods, specially with MIBI scintigraphy.
