Evaluation of Visualized Left Atrium by 201Tl Myocardial Scintigraphy

201T1 myocardial scintigraphy was evaluated in patients with 18 mitral stenosis cases. Left atrium was to be seen in ANT (16.7%), LAO (16.7%), MLAO (16.7%) and L-LAT (11.1%), respectively. Furthermore, 201T1 uptake ratio of left atrium, right ventricle, pulmonary area tended significantly to increas...

More Information
Summary:201T1 myocardial scintigraphy was evaluated in patients with 18 mitral stenosis cases. Left atrium was to be seen in ANT (16.7%), LAO (16.7%), MLAO (16.7%) and L-LAT (11.1%), respectively. Furthermore, 201T1 uptake ratio of left atrium, right ventricle, pulmonary area tended significantly to increase in visible group compared with invisible group. PCW pressure was correlated with left atrial Tl uptake (r=0.51, p<0.005), and it indicated some correlation between left atrial pressure and 201T1 uptake.
