MYOCARDIAL VIABILITY STUDY:  24-HOUR 201 THALLIUM REDISTRIBUTION IMAGING

DATE: 4/14/2006

ADDITIONAL DOSE: None

FINDINGS: Normal perfusion to all walls of the left ventricular myocardium. Mild decrease in tracer activity in the proximal to mid inferior wall. Moderate to severely decreased tracer activity in the proximal to distal inferior wall extending into the inferoapical region. Homogeneous normal activity in the remainder of the left ventricular myocardium.

CONCLUSION:

1. Normal study with no scintigraphic evidence for stress induced ischemia or prior myocardial infarction.

2. The left ventricle is of normal size and demonstrates normal wall motion with an estimated ejection fraction of [...]%.

1. Fixed perfusion defect in the inferior wall extending into the apex which is consistent with prior infarction in the RCA territory. There is no evidence for stress induced ischemia.

2. Wall motion abnormalities as noted above. Estimated left ventricular ejection fraction is […]%.

3. No significant interval change compared to the previous myocardial perfusion scan of […].
