- Abstract
I suspect, the spasm occurred after the tracer injection and hence the perfusion pattern was normal, but the post-stress stunning was evident by the regional dysfunction. The patient had ECG, 2-dimensional echocardiogram, CT coronary angiography (CTCA), and dipyridamole stress/rest myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) using Tc-99m Tetrofosmin. Reverse redistribution (worsening rather than improvement of perfusion pattern on the delayed images compared to initial images) was first described with thallium-201 as a marker of successful thrombolysis in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI).
