This study compares exercise radionuclide ventriculography (RNVG) and exercise myocardial scintigraphy with 201Tl (MSC) both computed trisectorially. 137 patients before and after transluminal angioplasty (TCA) were investigated. While specificity equivalent was set at 90% for both methods (10% percentile of the controls [n = 29]) overall sensitivity for RNVG was 79% (n = 86) and for MSC 78% (n = 98). Sensitivity of RNVG for lesions of the posterior wall was lower than for the anterior wall: LAD stenoses 83% (n = 46), RCA stenoses 71% (n = 17), and LCX stenoses 63% (n = 8). Sensitivity of MSC presents only a slight difference between anterior and posterior wall lesions: LAD stenoses 78% (n = 51), RCA stenoses 73% (n = 22), RCX stenoses 100% (n = 8). Reproducibility of pathological findings before and after non-successful TCA and the determination of the stenosed vessel was slightly better with MSC than with RNVG. Functional improvement after a successful TCA is predictable by MSC, whereas RNVG documents the functional improvement.
