Three hundred twenty-one separate acquisition dual-isotope myocardial perfusion scans were reviewed retrospectively. Studies performed in six patients demonstrated a relative improvement in Tc-99m sestamibi uptake during stress in segments that appeared abnormal on rest injected Tl-201 images. All patients who demonstrated this pattern had a prior history of myocardial infarction and interventional revascularization. While many factors may contribute to this appearance, the authors favor the presence of a patent infarct-related artery as being the most significant.

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.

D004176 Dipyridamole A phosphodiesterase inhibitor that blocks uptake and metabolism of adenosine by erythrocytes and vascular endothelial cells. Dipyridamole also potentiates the antiaggregating action of prostacyclin.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
