Serial myocardial perfusion imaging is used to assess exercise-induced myocardial ischemia and myocardial risk area, salvage, and viability in patients with myocardial infarction. In an experimental animal model it has been shown that abnormal regional wall motion and altered left ventricular geometry can produce apparent perfusion defects independent of changes in blood flow. The effects of regional alteration in ventricular geometry on perfusion images in humans are not defined. The purpose of our investigation was to evaluate quantitatively the effect of altered left ventricular geometry on myocardial perfusion imaging with technetium 99m sestamibi during coronary angioplasty.
