Abstrakt: Cardiac scintigraphy was performed in six patients with a documented previous myocardial infarction, in one patient with mitral regurgitation, and in four healthy volunteers following administration of Tc-tris-DMPE. An intense early blood pool phase permitted gated blood pool scintigraphy and left ventricular ejection fraction calculation. A myocardial phase 12-14 h later permitted myocardial perfusion imaging. The rest myocardial perfusion image quality with Tc-tris-DMPE appeared to be superior to the resting image quality obtained with Tc-dichloro-DMPE but was inferior to the resting image quality obtained with Tl.
