Myocardial washout of the new myocardial perfusion imaging agent, 99mTc-hexakis-2-methoxy isobutyl isonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) was studied in 23 patients with coronary artery disease. These patients were divided into three groups; 8 patients with effort angina pectoris (AP group), 6 with myocardial infarction who had reversible defect (MI-RD (+) group) and 9 with myocardial infarction who had not reversible defect (MI-RD (-) group). Regional radioactivities were determined with postexercise 1- and 3-hour myocardial planar images. In AP group, 99mTc-MIBI washout rate in ischemic area was smaller than in normal area (3.8 +/- 7.5% vs. 8.3 +/- 5.6%, p < 0.05), however, in the remaining two groups, there were no difference in washout between normal and infarct areas. Defect/normal ratios from postexercise 1 hour to 3 hours were slightly increased in AP and MI-RD (+) groups. Our results indicate that 99mTc-MIBI showed slight and incomplete myocardial redistribution in ischemic areas. These data showed to be considered in the interpretation of 99mTc-MIBI myocardial imaging.

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.

D005080 Exercise Test Controlled physical activity which is performed in order to allow assessment of physiological functions, particularly cardiovascular and pulmonary, but also aerobic capacity. Maximal (most intense) exercise is usually required but submaximal exercise is also used.

D000368 Aged A person 65 years of age or older. For a person older than 79 years, AGED, 80 AND OVER is available. Elderly
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).
