The safety of intravenous dipyridamole thallium myocardial perfusion imaging. Intravenous Dipyridamole Thallium Imaging Study Group.
Clinical data on 3,911 patients were collected from 64 individual investigators to evaluate the safety of intravenous dipyridamole-thallium imaging as an alternative to exercise thallium imaging for the evaluation of coronary artery disease. There were two deaths because of myocardial infarctions, two nonfatal myocardial infarctions, and six cases of acute bronchospasm. Chest pain occurred in 7...

Clinical data on 3,911 patients were collected from 64 individual investigators to evaluate the safety ofintravenous dipyridamole-thallium imaging as an alternative to exercise thallium imaging for the evaluation of coronary artery disease. There were two deaths because of myocardial infarctions, two nonfatal myocardial infarctions, and six cases of acute bronchospasm. Chest pain occurred in 77...
متن کاملProlonged myocardial ischemia after intravenous dipyridamole thallium imaging.
Intravenous dipyridamole thallium imaging is reported to be a safe test with minimal side effects. It has been proposed by some that the test simply dilates the coronary vessels without actually producing myocardial ischemia. In this report, we describe a patient who, following intravenous dipyridamole thallium imaging, developed severe myocardial ischemia which persisted for 90 minutes, requir...
متن کاملDipyridamole Thallium Imaging
Thallium e01 Tl) myocardial perfusion imaging with exercise is widely accepted as a simple and safe method to diagnose coronary artery disease (CAD) or to evaluate the extent and significance of disease in patients with known CAD. A significant number of patients cannot achieve the necessary level of exercise with routinely performed 201 Tl treadmill or bicycle exercise testing to properly allo...
متن کاملDipyridamole combined with exercise for thallium-201 myocardial imaging.
A new stress test for thallium-201 myocardial imaging in which pharmacological coronary vasodilatation with dipyridamole is combined with dynamic exercise is described. In 38 patients with coronary artery disease the sensitivity, total number of defects, degree of redistribution, and visual quality of thallium-201 imaging were greater after dipyridamole with exercise testing than after exercise...
