Acute subendocardial myocardial infarction in patients. Its detection by Technetium 99-m stannous pyrophosphate myocardial scintigrams.

摘要: Eighty-eight patients admitted to a coronary care unit with chest pain of varying etiology but without ECG evidence an acute transmural myocardial infarction had scintigrams using technetium-99m stannour pyrophosphate (99m-Tc-PYP). Seventeen these and enzymatic suggestive subendocardial infarction. In each the were postivie demonstrating increased 99m-Tc-PYP uptake either in faintly diffusely positive pattern or well-localized strongly one. The remaining 71 did not evolve scintigram was negative. Thus are capable identifying presence patients. absolute frequency shich can be recognized utilizing this technique will have established larger number future.
