title: Myocardial macroaggregate uptake on successive lung perfusion scans.
abstract: In a patient with an Eisenmenger syndrome and multiple intraventricular communications, myocardial uptake of macroaggregated albumin appeared during a perfusion lung scan. This pattern can be explained by an increase of arterial pulmonary hypertension heightening the proportion of the right-to-left shunt.
