A 68-year-old man suffering from chronic heart failure due to coronary artery disease (CAD) underwent rest technetium-99m (99mTc)-tetrofosmin and thallium-201 (201Tl) with reinjection studies, but died thereafter. The heart was removed and sectioned into short-axis slices and examined by gross and microscopic pathologic methods. A close correlation between the amount of residual cardiomyocytes and the level of regional tracer activity in the left ventricular wall was obtained for redistribution 201Tl, reinjection 201Tl and rest 99mTc tetrofosmin images. The correlation coefficients were r=0.901 for the 201Tl redistribution images, r=0.913 for the 201Tl reinjection images and r=0.917 for the rest 99mTc-tetrofosmin images. This case report provides further evidence of the validity of SPECT tetrofosmin imaging for the determination of myocardial viability in CAD.
