Abstract
The distribution of radioactivity in the myocardium of rats and dogs infarcted by ligation of the left anterior coronary artery has been determined after intravenous injection of 9-[Te-123m]telluraheptadecanoic acid (Te-123m HDA). In rats the normal myocardium concentrated radioactivity (3.7% ± 0.28 injected dose/g) to nearly three times that in the zones of infarction (1.12% ± 0.18 dose/g). The focal defects detected in the gamma-camera images of rats and dogs corresponds well with areas of infarction identified in the excised hearts by staining with triphenyl-tetrazolium chloride. The distribution of radioactivity from Te-123m HDA in dog hearts sectioned at autopsy showed a linear correlation (r = 0.94) with blood flow as determined with scandium-46-labeled microspheres.
