Reverse redistribution in thallium-201 stress tests in coronary artery disease--a brief report.
Reverse redistribution (RR) is the apparent worsening of a stress-induced defect or the appearance of a new defect in the myocardium in the delayed thallium images. This has been linked to the presence of coronary artery disease. In this article, we examine the incidence of this phenomenon in our local population, and its pathophysiological significance.
