Twenty-four-hour delayed imaging after stress thallium-201 scintigraphy was assessed for more accurate detection of viable myocardium. Thirty-two patients with coronary artery disease who showed fixed perfusion abnormality (FPA) at 3 hr imaging after stress Tl study were evaluated with 24 hr delayed imaging. Of 37 areas with FPA, 19 areas (51%) showed redistribution (RD) at 24 hr imaging. After successful coronary artery bypass grafting (n = 19) or transluminal coronary angioplasty (n = 3), stress Tl scintigraphy was performed. Of 13 areas with RD at 24 hr imaging, 12 revealed improvement of Tl uptake after revascularization. On the other hand, of 12 areas with FPA until 24 hr, 8 showed no improvement. In conclusion, conventional stress Tl-201 scintigraphy underestimates myocardial viability, and additional 24 hr imaging permits more accurate assessment of myocardial viability.
