Reversibility of long-standing left ventricular aneurysm predicted by thallium-201 imaging

Stress thallium-201 perfusion scintigraphy was used to assess the reversibilty of a long-standing left ventricular aneurysm. By identifying reversible ischemia, it was predicted that this patient's ventricular function would benefit significantly from surgical revascularization or percutaneous...

Zusammenfassung:	Stress thallium-201 perfusion scintigraphy was used to assess the reversibilty of a long-standing left ventricular aneurysm. By identifying reversible ischemia, it was predicted that this patient's ventricular function would benefit significantly from surgical revascularization or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
