| Abstract: | Background It has been shown that serial teboroxime imaging can rapidly assess coronary perfusion in viable myocardial distributions. However, the myocardial uptake of teboroxime after reperfusion of acutely infarcted myocardium has not been critically evaluated. The study object was to assess whether teboroxime uptake in acutely infarcted myocardium is linearly related to blood flow. |
