Correlation between delayed-enhancement magnetic resonance and nitrate myocardial Tc-99m tetrofosmin scintigraphy in myocardial infarction: a case report

INTRODUCTION: Delayed-enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (DE-MRI) has been recently proposed as an alternative tool in identifying myocardial viability and transmural distribution of necrosis in the myocardium. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a case of a 71-year-old man admitted for ischemic-like...

description INTRODUCTION: Delayed-enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (DE-MRI) has been recently proposed as an alternative tool in identifying myocardial viability and transmural distribution of necrosis in the myocardium. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a case of a 71-year-old man admitted for ischemic-like chest pain in which DE-MRI and post-nitrate (99m)Tc-tetrofosmin myocardial scintigraphy equally contributed to the diagnosis of previous lateral myocardial infarction. CONCLUSION: In this patient with coronary artery disease, the absence of uptake of tracer at myocardial scintigraphy appeared to be closely correlated to DE-MRI data. Cardiologists can use SPECT or DE-MRI to obtain similar information about myocardial viability.
