摘要
Numerous studies have revealed frequent false positive septal findings of Tl-201 stress imaging in patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB) even with angiographically excluded significant coronary artery disease (CAD). To scrutinize this phenomenon for stress/rest Tc-99m-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) was used to review 22 patients with constant LBBB. The findings were reversible septal defect in one patient, partially reversible septal defect in one patient and irreversible septal defects in eight patients. In four patients Tc-99m-MIBI scans were entirely normal. Thus, 12/22 (55%) patients revealed normal septal Tc-99m-MIBI uptake. Both patients with a stress-induced septal defect revealed a significant left anterior descending artery stenosis on coronary angiography. These preliminary results suggest, that Tc-99m-MIBI might be more specific and accurate than Tl-201 in the evaluation of CAD in patients with LBBB because of apparently rare or absent false positive septal findings.
