Abstract
Aim. To assess myocardium perfusion and functional state, by the data from single-photon computed emission tomography combined with X-ray computed tomography (SPECT/CT) at exercise testing circumstances, in patients with chest pain and intact coronary arteries.
Material and methods. Totally, 31 patient studied, each of those underwent Holter ECG monitoring, selective coronary arteriography and SPECT/CT of myocardium at rest and in veloergometry.
Results. In patients with unchanged coronary arteries there is a decrease of perfusion reserve, due to primary microcirculation disorders and secondary causes, that present with verified by visualizing radionuclide method SPECT/CT transient ischemia of myocardium.
Conclusion. It is important to investigate thoroughly patients with chest pains and angiographically unchanged vessels; the role of perfusion scintigraphy in these patients is high.
