Figure 2 Reversible perfusion defect obtained from a 58-year-old male patient with his typically moderate cavity obliteration exhibited in Figure 1. In exercise thallium single photon emission computed tomography (201Tl-SPECT), there was a perfusion defect during exercise in the apical portion but no defect 3 h later. The left ventriculogram displayed spade-shaped deformation during diastole and cavity obliteration in the midventricle and apical portion during systole (arrowhead).
