Erythromycin as an alternative to reduce interfering extra-cardiac activity in myocardial perfusion imaging
OBJECTIVES: We sought to determine whether taking oral erythromycin prior to SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging with Tc99m-sestamibi would reduce the amount of interfering extra-cardiac activity and improve the image quality. METHODS: A total of 96 patients who were routinely referred for myocardial...
