Observed influence of nitroglycerine on myocardial perfusion scintigraphy in patients with multiple vessel coronary artery disease and well-developed collaterals

Abstract: The objective of this scientific work was to evaluate the extent and severity of perfusion abnormalities on myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) at rest and with sublingual nitroglycerine, in relation to the presence and anatomical location of collaterals demonstrated by selective coronary angiography (SCA). Twenty-eight patients with unstable angina underwent selective coronary angiography. Eighteen of them were diagnosed with myocardial infarction (MI) 2–15 days prior to examination. Presence or absence o… Show more

“…[11][12][13] However, authors have seen discrepant findings by NTG intervention. 14 The dual-tracer thallium-201 (201T1) chloride (rest) and 99mTc MIBI (stress) acquisition technique have shown superiority over the single-tracer MIBI protocol. 15 However, due to the physical characteristic of 201Tl, many studies compared nitrate Tc-99m MIBI MPS with 201Tl.…”
