Clinical studies concerning the determinants of myocardial201Thallium uptake

Abstract

Studies were carried out in order to determine the factors influencing myocardial 2~ uptake in man. A total of 158 patients was examined with regard to both 2~ uptake and the assessment of left ventricular and coronary function (e.g. quantitative ventriculography, coronary arteriography, coronary blood flow measurements). The results demonstrate:
