Popis: The impact of a non-dominant right coronary artery (NDRCA), on single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI)has not been clarified.We compared SPECT-MPI results of consecutive patients without significant (diameter stenosis ≥50%)coronary artery disease (CAD) and a NDRCA (Group-1), with those of patients from our database without CAD and a dominant RCA (Group-2). All patients were subjected to SPECT-MPI with I.V. infusion of adenosine, and TCA relatively high rate of reversible SPECT-MPI perfusion defects may be anticipated in patients with an unobstructed NDRCA compared to patients with a dominant RCA.
