To assess the significance of diffuse slow washout (DSW) in dipyridamole loading thallium-201 myocardial perfusion scintigraphy, 382 patients were studied. DSW were observed in 69 (24%) of 285 patients with perfusion defects, 5 (5%) of 97 patients without perfusion defects. There was significant relation between DSW and perfusion defects (p less than 0.01). Coronary angiography showed multivessel disease in 84% single vessel disease in 12% of patients with DSW and multivessel disease in 28%, single vessel disease in 50% of patients without DSW. During a mean follow up period of 29 months, initial CABG or PTCA were done in 41%, cardiac death occurred in 12%, nonfatal cardiac events occurred in 7% of patients with DSW and perfusion defects. In patients without DSW, initial CABG or PTCA were done in 11%, cardiac death occurred in 7%, nonfatal cardiac events occurred in 5%. Patients without perfusion defects had good prognosis regardless of the presence or absence of DSW. In conclusion, DSW indicates serious cardiac ischemia in patients with perfusion defects. DSW does not indicate cardiac ischemia in patients without perfusion defects.

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.

D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.
