Myocardial imaging with technetium-99m hexakis 2-methoxyisobutyl isonitrile was investigated as a means to assess myocardial infarct size during coronary occlusion and to quantify the extent of salvaged myocardium after coronary occlusion followed by reperfusion. Open chest dogs underwent either a permanent coronary artery occlusion (Group 1, n = 16) or a 2 h occlusion followed by reperfusion (Group 2, n = 15). Animals in both groups were killed 48 h after occlusion. During coronary occlusion, 23 of the 25 dogs that survived the coronary occlusions had abnormal myocardial scintigrams. The scintigraphic perfusion defect size correlated well with the pathologic infarct size (r = 0.85 and 0.95 by planar and tomographic imaging, respectively). The planar scintigraphic defect size, but not the tomographic defect size, overestimated the pathologic size. The planar scintigraphic defect size observed during coronary occlusion was markedly reduced 48 h after reperfusion (24.8 +/- 12.8% to 10.6 +/- 9.7% of the left ventricle, p less than 0.003). The uptake of technetium-99m hexakis 2-methoxyisobutyl isonitrile in the ischemic myocardium increased significantly 48 h after reperfusion (p less than 0.003) and correlated with the increase in regional myocardial blood flow, as assessed by radioactive microspheres (r = 0.83, p less than 0.01). Thus, myocardial imaging with technetium-99m hexakis 2-methoxyisobutyl isonitrile allows reliable demonstration of the presence of acute infarction, estimation of infarct size and quantification of the extent of salvaged myocardium after coronary reperfusion.
