Prinzmetal's variant angina evolved in inferior myocardial infarction with involvement of the right ventricle: sequential radionuclide evaluation
Abstract
A patient with Prinzmetal's variant angina (PVA) who developed an inferolateral myocardial infarction with right-ventricle involvement was studied using sequential radionuclide imaging until 5 months after the acute event. The patient also underwent-contrast ventriculography and coronary-artery angiography. Equilibrium-gated radionuclide angiography (EGRA) revealed the localization of ventricular dysfunction, the results obtained being in agreement with haemodynamic data. We emphasize the usefulness of the parameters obtained using EGRA (regional wall motion, systolic and diastolic parameters) in planning therapy and follow-up.
