Clinical Cases
Case 1: 39 year old male (Weight: 79 Kg; Height: 171 cm).
Hypertension diagnosed 2 months ago. DM (-). Diaphragmatic AMI
2 months ago. EKG stress test negative 2 days ago. Patient asymptomatic.
Purpose of the study: evaluate ischemia and myocardial viability.
Case 2: 82 year old female (Weight: 64 Kg; Height: 150 cm). Under
treatment for DM diagnosed 40 years ago. AMI 10 days ago. Patient
asymptomatic. Purpose of the study: evaluate for ischemia and
myocardial viability.
Case
002)
Diabetic 62 y/o male asymptomatic with abnormal EKG.
Male 43 y/o with chronic myocardial ischemia and previous
AMI. Sent to evaluate for myocardial viability (Tl-201 rest/7
Hr. redistribution).
Case
004
Tc-99m-MIBI (stress/rest).
52 y/o male with AMI 15 days ago. Angina at rest. Study to
detect "probable residual ischemia".
Case
007
Severe ischemia in left coronary artery territory.
Myocardial infarct w/o evidence of viable nor ischemic tissue.
We recommended a Tl-201 rest SPECT with 4 hrs. redistribution
images.
