Indium-111-antimyosin Fab scan was performed in patients with hypertrophic and postpartum cardiomyopathies to assess whether or not myocardial damage can be delineated. In two patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, intense and diffuse antimyosin uptake was observed, although there was no evidence of acute myocardial damage or wall motion abnormality. A patient with postpartum cardiomyopathy showed a dense and relatively localized accumulation in the left ventricular anterior wall in association with thallium perfusion and wall motion abnormalities. Thus, antimyosin scanning can delineate not only manifested but also subclinical myocardial damage in hypertrophic and postpartum cardiomyopathies which may not be detectable by other techniques.

D009202 Cardiomyopathies A group of diseases in which the dominant feature is the involvement of the CARDIAC MUSCLE itself. Cardiomyopathies are classified according to their predominant pathophysiological features (DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY; HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY; RESTRICTIVE CARDIOMYOPATHY) or their etiological/pathological factors (CARDIOMYOPATHY, ALCOHOLIC; ENDOCARDIAL FIBROELASTOSIS).

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D002312 Cardiomyopathy, Hypertrophic A form of CARDIAC MUSCLE disease, characterized by left and/or right ventricular hypertrophy (HYPERTROPHY, LEFT VENTRICULAR; HYPERTROPHY, RIGHT VENTRICULAR), frequent asymmetrical involvement of the HEART SEPTUM, and normal or reduced left ventricular volume. Risk factors include HYPERTENSION; AORTIC STENOSIS; and gene MUTATION; (FAMILIAL HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY).
