This study conducted to characterize of coronary artery obstruction and related findings in ischemic heart patients using cardiac scintigraphy for the identification of myocardial ischemia, 146 patients were studied at basal conditions and also asked for fasting after night till the intravenous injection of the radiopharmaceutical, after the injection time about 15-20 min the patient should eat a fatty meal and chocolate for the good excretion of the gall bladder, to evaluate the performance and regional wall motion of the lef ventricle. The results showed that the body mass index percentage in this sample was in the range of 43.05-61.05. The number of patients who were catheter candidate was 56 patients with 43%, and the patients were not candidate to cathode were 74 patients with 57% of all patients. For the group of patients where type of ischemia was assessed, 29.5% of patients were reversible posterior and inferior wall, 15.1% of patients were fixed large from apex to base, 9.6% of patients were mild basal inferior wall, 4.8% of patients were mild anterior wall, 6.2% of patients were antro septal. 34.9% of patients were moderate ischemia. |
