Myocardial scintigraphy with technetium 99m pyrophosphate. 1976

M Degeorges, and J C Roucayrol, and M Comet, and C Sol

The pyrophosphate of Tc99m attaches itself to ischaemic myocardial cells, and therefore makes it possible to obtain a scintigram of necrotic or necrosing myocardium. In a series of 65 cases the scintigram was positive in every case in which there had been a recent transmural infarct (17 cases). The results showed greater variation in the other ischaemic conditions involving the myocardium (limited infarcts or simple angina). The progress as a function of time was stuided in a series of fairly recent and older infarcts. The limitations and future prospects of this investigations are discussed.

D011756 Diphosphates Inorganic salts of phosphoric acid that contain two phosphate groups. Diphosphate,Pyrophosphate Analog,Pyrophosphates,Pyrophosphate Analogs,Analog, Pyrophosphate
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.
