Regional left ventricular (LV) wall motion abnormality (retard contraction) at mid-systole was examined in 17 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) with normal LV ejection fraction (≧55%) and normal holosystolic wall motion, and in 10 normal subjects. CAD group consisted of 3 patients with old myocardial infarction (OMI) and 14 patients with effort angina (EA).

After red blood cells were labeled with 20mCi of Tc-99m in vivo, R-wave triggered multiple-gated cardiac blood pool imaging was obtained at anterior and 40-degree left anterior oblique position at rest. LV perimeter was detected automatically by iso-count method. In 16 patients with CAD, exercise stress myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with TI-201 was obtained both at immediately after the exercise stress (initial) and 3 hours after the exercise stress (delayed).

In normal subjects, wall motion at mid-systole was uniform. On the contrary, in 10 patients with CAD regional retard contraction at mid-systole was observed (59%) and the loci of retard contraction were coincided well with the site of coronary artery stenosis and perfusion defect at initial Tl images.

Out of 10 patients, in whom retard contraction at mid-systole was observed, 5 patients with EA showed incomplete obliteration of initial defect at delayed MPI and 2 patients with OMI showed persistent defect. On the other hand, 7 patients with CAD showed normal wall motion at mid-systole, and in 6 of them exercise stress MPI showed complete obliteration of initial defect but one patient with OMI showed no perfusion abnormality. Besides there were 4 patients of EA who experienc-ed prolonged anginal pain (more than 20 minutes) without electrocardiographic evidence of MI, and they all showed retard contraction at mid-systole.

These facts indicated the existence of small necrisis at retard-contracted myocardial segments.

In conclusion, the study of wall motion abnormality at mid-systole is useful to detect the site of coronary artery stenosis in patients with CAD with normal holosystolic LV function, and retard contraction at mid-systole suggested the existence of small necrosis at that segment.
