Left ventricular (LV) regional wall motion deter-mined by two-dimensional echocardiography (TDE) was compared with regional myocardial flow evalu-ated with Tl-201 emission computed tomography (SPECT) in 32 patients with old myocardial infarc-tion. Short axis images of LV at the level of papil-lary muscle were obtained both by TDE and SPECT. LV walls in TDE and SPECT were divid-ed equally into S segments respectively, with reference point at the posterior end of the right side of the interventricular septum. Regional wall motion was evaluated as normal, mild-moderate hypokinesis, severe hypokinesis, akinesis and dyskinesis.

Abnormal wall motions were observed in 84 (95%) of 88 segments with defect of T1-201 uptake. Defect of Tl-201 uptake was demonstrated in 66 (69%) of 95 segments with severe hypokinesis, akinesis or dyskinesis and in 25 (96%) of 26 seg-ments with akinesis or dyskinesis. However, there were four cases who showed discrepancies between TDE and SPECT. In three of those four cases, LV wall motions were almost normal in the segments with small localized defect of Tl-201 uptake. In the other case with severe three vessels disease, defect of Tl-201 uptake was not demonstrated in some of the segments with akinesis, probably due to the diffuse decrement of Tl-201 uptake all over LV wall. The possibilities of these discrepancies should be taken into mind in such cases.

It is concluded that evaluation of regional wall motion and myocardial blood flow in each seg-ments is considered to be useful in elucidating the pathophysiology of myocardial abnormalities.
