Relation between thallium uptake and contractile response to dobutamine : implications regarding myocardial viability in patients with chronic coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction

Both thallium scintigraphy and dobutamine echocardiography have been used to assess myocardial viability. However, thallium uptake and the inotropic response to dobutamine are expressions of different cellular phenomena. The present study was undertaken to investigate the relation between the two me...
