Description
Myocardial thallium scintigraphy performed after intravenous injection of dipyridamole is a non-invasive method to diagnose and evaluate coronary disease.It be used as an alternative to post-exercise scintigraphy, both methods having similar sensitivity and specificity. The dipyridamole test is contraindicated in patients with a history of bronchospasm and uncontrolled angina pectoris. Close clinical and electrocardiographic monitoring is required. The wide use of tomographic techniques has notably improved this examination
