[Myocardial scintigraphy with Tc-99m-diphosphonate in patients with coronary heart disease: a comparison with ECG and hemodynamic examinations at rest and during exertion].
In 67 patients, 61 of whom underwent a myocardial infarction and 6 suffered from angina pectoris, myocardial scintigraphy was performed using the technetium-99m-diphosphate (Tc-99m-DP). In 51 patients the ECG and left pulmonary end-diastolic pressure (LPEDP) were investigated additionally at rest and during exercise (bicycle ergometre). A significantly higher occurrence of positive scintigrams was found in cases with marked coronary insufficiency, whereas with the normal ECG findings the negative scintigrams were significantly more often. Increased LPEDP values occurred more often with positive than with negative myocardial scintigrams, especially during exercise. The authors recommend the myocardial Tc-99m-DP scintigraphy for the assessment of the activity of pathologic process after acute myocardial infarction.
