PG - 525-33 AB - We studied the effect of intravenous isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) on myocardial perfusion of patients with coronary artery disease, by using exercise thallium-201 (TI-201) myocardial scintigraphy. A control study was conducted initially to assess regional myocardial perfusion rate. Left ventricular myocardium was divided into six parts: anterior, lateral, apical, inferior, posterior, and septal segments. The segmental myocardial perfusion was characterized according to TI-201 initial uptake index (IUI) of relative distribution and redistribution index (RDI) of TI-201 washout. The normal limit of IUI and RDI was established from the data of 17 persons with normal coronary arteries, and then the IUI less than or equal to 84% and the RDI greater than or equal to 1.12 was defined as abnormal. Based on IUI and RDI, each segment was characterized into three types: A type = IUI less than or equal to 84%, RDI greater than or equal to 1.12; B type = IUI less than or equal to 84%, RDI less than 1.12; and C type = IUI greater than 84%, RDI less than 1.12. ISDN was given as a dose of 0.1 mg/kg/hr, and then treadmill testing was repeated for the same duration of exercise time using the same protocol as in the control period. The segments of A type showed a significant improvement in IUI and RDI after receiving ISDN infusion, while the B and C type segments showed no change. It was also shown that the improvement of IUI and RDI of the A type segments was not as marked in multivessel disease as in cases of single-vessel disease.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) FAU - Tono, I AU - Tono I FAU - Satoh, S AU - Satoh S FAU - Kanaya, T AU - Kanaya T FAU - Komatani, A AU - Komatani A FAU - Takahashi, K AU - Takahashi K FAU - Tsuiki, K AU - Tsuiki K FAU - Yasui, S AU - Yasui S LA - eng PT - Case Reports PT - Journal Article PT - Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't PL - United States TA - Am Heart J JT - American heart journal JID - 0370465 RN - 0 (Radioisotopes) RN - AD84R52XLF (Thallium) RN - IA7306519N (Isosorbide Dinitrate) SB - IM MH - Adult MH - Aged MH - Arterial Occlusive Diseases/diagnostic imaging/physiopathology MH - Coronary Disease/*diagnostic imaging/drug therapy/physiopathology MH - *Exercise Test MH - Hemodynamics/drug effects MH - Humans MH - Infusions, Parenteral MH - Isosorbide Dinitrate/administration & dosage/*pharmacology MH - Middle Aged MH - Perfusion MH - *Radioisotopes MH - Radionuclide Imaging MH - *Thallium EDAT- 1986/03/01 00:00 MHDA- 1986/03/01 00:01 CRDT- 1986/03/01 00:00 PHST- 1986/03/01 00:00 [pubmed] PHST- 1986/03/01 00:01 [medline] PHST- 1986/03/01 00:00 [entrez] AID - 0002-8703(86)90058-X [pii] AID - 10.1016/0002-8703(86)90058-x [doi] PST - ppublish SO - Am Heart J. 1986 Mar;111(3):525-33. doi: 10.1016/0002-8703(86)90058-x.
