Abstract
Seventy-five consecutive patients with acute (43) or old (32) myocardial infarction (AMI, OMI) have been examined by myocardial scintiscanning with technetium-99m stannous pyrophosphate (PYP). Using Parker's classification, the PYP scans were graded as positive in 56 % of the AMI patients; in restricting to the PYP scans obtained within the first 3 days after the onset, the positive rate was 86 %. Positive or negative PYP scans for the AMI patients were independent of maximum creatine phosphokinase and infarct site. For OMI patients, the PYP scans were positive in 41 %, with decreased left ventricular function being more common than those having negative PYP scans. In the group of positive scans, clinical manifestations tended to be remarkable, which were likely due to persistent cardiac ischemia during chronic stage. (Namekawa, K.).
