Noninvasive assessment of graft function requires detection of myocardial ischemia. Although T1-201 scintigraphy was primarily used to demonstrate improved perfusion soon after bypass surgery, it may be important in detecting graft stenosis late after surgery, identifying patients with symptoms due to graft occlusion. To investigate this, 38 symptomatic patients aged 58 +/- 10 years who had undergone bypass surgery 3-7 years previously (mean 4.

A noninvasive approach to determine viable but asynergic myocardium will be clinically significant in identifying patients with coronary artery disease and severe left ventricular dysfunction who will benefit most from coronary bypass surgery. Accordingly, 12 patients (mean ejection fraction 0.32 +/- 0.
