Abstract

Purpose:To evaluate the significance of dipyridamole test in diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) with 99m Tc -MIBI myocardial imaging.Methods:The dipyridamole test was performed duriong 99m Tc-MIBI myocardial SPECT imaging among 21 normal subjects and 88 CAD patients.Results:The sensitivity was 83% and the specificity was 90.5% in the diagnosis of CAD with dipyridamole test.These results were similar to maximum exercise.Conclusion:Dipyridamole test is a simple,convenient and wide-indication method and is worth to spread in clinic.
