Ischemic ST-segment changes after dipyridamole infusion.
Thirty consecutive patients were studied by thallium-201 myocardial imaging after dipyridamole infusion and by coronary angiography because of syndromes of chest pain. Eight patients (27%) had ischemic ST-segment changes after the infusion of dipyridamole. They all had significant coronary arterial disease. It is suggested that the combination of visual analysis of myocardial imaging and analysis of ST-segment changes be used after dipyridamole infusion to improve the sensitivity of this non-invasive test.
