  • Title: [Clinical and prognostic value of myocardial scintigraphy using technetium Tc 99m pyrophosphate in patients with unstable stenocardia].

    Journal: Kardiologiia; 1992 Jan; 32(1):29-31. PubMed ID: 1535392.
    Abstract:
    The clinical and predictive value of 99mTc pyrophosphate myocardial scintigraphy was studied in 164 patients with various clinical courses of unstable angina pectoris. Some patients with the unstable anginal syndrome proceeding with prolonged pain attacks were shown to have irreversible myocardial lesions detectable by 99mTc pyrophosphate myocardial scintigraphy. However, the study indicated that the presence of small myocardial necrotic foci in this case was of insignificant predictive value.
