title: [Use of myocardial thallium-201 scintigraphy in the evaluation of infarct area].
abstract: In twenty-four patients admitted of the Coronary Care Unit for myocardial infarction, without signs of previous necrosis and uncomplicated course, amplitude of infarct size was estimated by 201-Thallium perfusion scintigraphy. The obtained results were compared with residual ventricular function (i.e. angiographic ejection fraction) and with other methods of fibrotic area evaluation such as electrocardiographic score and CPK and CK-MB dismission curve. Concordance was observed among: scintigraphy and ejection fraction, scintigraphy and electrocardiographic score, scintigraphy and CPK peak.
