Scintigraphic diagnosis of right ventricular ischemia

Clin Nucl Med. 1991 Jun;16(6):407-9. doi: 10.1097/00003072-199106000-00005.

Abstract

We present a patient with exercise induced right ventricular ischemia demonstrated on stress TI-201 myocardial scintiscan. The patient underwent cardiac catheterization, and subtotal occlusion was found at the proximal right coronary artery. Repeat stress TI-201 scan became normal following the successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
