Abstract
/sup 201/Tl scintimetry of the heart was used for a statistical comparison between normal people (10 individuals) and those with acute anterior wall infarcts (5 patients), anterior wall hypokinesia (5 patients) and dyskinesia (8 patients). Numerical results were obtained by a computer and depended on the relative /sup 201/Tl storage in the left ventricular myocardium (64 mm/sup 2/ area) related to mediastinal background uptake. It was found that maximal myocardial uptake, compared with mediastinal activity (about 290%) did not differ between normals and patients with coronary heart disease. Aneurysms of the anterior ventricular wall showed a reduction (with the ventricle perpendicular to the collimator) of 45.8%; in hypokinesia and acute myocardial infarcts, it was 64.2% and 64.6% respectively (normal 82.6%). /sup 201/Tl uptake in aneurysms (42.4%) approached background activity (36%) if a projection parallel to the collimator was used. /sup 201/Tl scintimetry provides a means of defining function ability of the myocardium (depending on myocardial perfusion and mass). Aneurysms and hypokinetic portions of the myocardium can be differentiated statistically from normal /sup 201/Tl uptake.
