[Diagnostic value of myocardial perfusion scintigraphy with (99m)Tc-tetrofosmin in women with suspected ischemic heart disease].

Background And Objective: This was a cross-sectional study in which the values of sensitivity and specificity of myocardial perfusion study with (99)mTc-Tetrofosmina protocol in a day after stimulation with dipyridamole were determined in a population of women. We also assessed the relationship with coronary vascular territories, based on coronary angiography.

Patients And Method: We studied retrospective medical records of 202 women with suspected ischemic heart disease tested on myocardial perfusion who also underwent coronary angiography.
