  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

False-positive Tl-201 scintigraphy in patients with complete left bundle-branch block (CLBBB) and nor-mal coronary artery had been reported by several authors. However the reason for this phenomenon remained to be clarified.

We investigated 2 patients (case 1; a 65-year-old male, case 2; a 58-year-old male) with CLBBB using positron emission computed tomography (PET). Cor-onary angiography revealed normal coronary artery in both cases. In both cases, Tl-201 stress scintig-raphy demonstrated definite perfusion defect at the anteroseptal region without redistribution, although PET study using F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) revealed defect at the septal wall. This indicates that perfusion defect detected by Tl-201 scintigra-phy relates rather not to ischemic myocardium with a viable region, but to necrotic or fibrous tissue.

Thus, PET is a useful tool in investigating viabili-ty of abnormal myocardium when other study has failed to do so. Our cases with CLBBB suggested that there was abnormal flow and metabolism at the anteroseptal region, possibly relating to the patho genesis of CLBBB.
