title: Tc-99m sestamibi/F-18 FDG myocardial SPECT in Takayasu arteritis with coronary artery involvement.
abstract: Coronary arteries may be involved in some patients with Takayasu arteritis. Evaluation of myocardial involvement due to coronary lesions may provide important information in the clinical management of these patients. We report Tc-99m sestamibi and F-18 FDG myocardial single photon emission computed tomography in 3 cases of such patients.
