Nitroglycerin (NTG) is known to increase the blood supply to the myocardium, and would thus increase the delivery of a perfusional tracer such as sestamibi (MIBI) to the tissue. The latter, in turn, would take up and concentrate the tracer to a greater extent than in basal conditions only if energy-dependent mechanisms were still available-that is, only if the cells were still viable.
