Technetium-99m-HMPAO brain SPECT in patients with syndrome X.
Ninety-five patients with syndrome X were studied by brain single-photon emission computed tomographic examination; 72 (76%) had pathologic findings suggestive of cerebral perfusion abnormalities. These findings support the hypothesis of a vascular disorder not confined to cardiac vessels.
