    Abstract:
    A study on myocardial perfusion through scintigraphy with 201-Tl has been carried on in a group of 57 persons: among them 45 had myocardial infarction and 12 had myocardial ischemia in act. In consideration of this experience, the myocardial scintigraphy with 201-Tl seems to be a valid investigation method to support the electro-vectocardiography when evaluating, bloodlessly, ischemical cardiopathies. In general, the correlation between electro-vectorcardiographic and scintigraphic data has been satisfactory. Referring to stroken parts, we can say that also those cardiac sectors usually very difficult to be explored with other radio elements such as 131-CS and 42-K, have been adequately studied with 201-Tl. To sum up, we can say that scintigraphic investigation of myocardium with 201-Tl is certainly a valid blood-less method to diagnose ischemical cardiopathy with the advantage to be also a useful diagnostical element for the evaluation of the microcirculation.
