A quantitative approach to the analysis of the normal thallium-201 myocardial image.

The visual interpretation of Thallium-201 myocardial images is made more difficult by nonhomogeneity of myocardial tracer uptake in normal studies. To increase the objectivity of the study, the variation in count density in different myocardial areas has been calculated using a computer regions of interest technique in 14 healthy, young subjects following intravenous injection of the radionuclide at rest and in 10 after injection during maximal exercise. The "normal ranges" for regional Thallium-201 uptake so obtained are presented and discussed.

Relation between extent of coronary artery disease and severity of hyperlipoproteinaemia.

Lipoprotein analyses were performed in 133 male patients and were correlated with the coronary arteriographic findings. The prevalence of hyperlipoproteinaemia was significantly higher in those patients with coronary artery disease (P less than 0-02). In addition, the more extensive the degree of coronary artery pathology the higher were the plasma concentrations of total cholesterol, triglyceride, and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Hyperlipoproteinaemia was more prevalent in the younger patients with coronary artery disease (P less than 0-02).
