A resting perfusion defect detected during radioisotope myocardial perfusion imaging is generally thought to represent myocardial infarction. The administration of nitroglycerin during cardiac PET imaging results in improved resting defects, which suggests transiently abnormal resting perfusion with silent myocardial ischemia.

D017202 Myocardial Ischemia A disorder of cardiac function caused by insufficient blood flow to the muscle tissue of the heart. The decreased blood flow may be due to narrowing of the coronary arteries (CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE), to obstruction by a thrombus (CORONARY THROMBOSIS), or less commonly, to diffuse narrowing of arterioles and other small vessels within the heart. Severe interruption of the blood supply to the myocardial tissue may result in necrosis of cardiac muscle (MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION).
