A patient with variant angina showed similar findings on both the rest and matched exercise 201Thallium (201Tl) myocardial perfusion scintigrams. The 65-year old man was admitted to hospital because of rest angina. His electrocardiogram during the attack disclosed ST segment elevation on inferior leads. However, emergency coronary arteriogram showed no fixed stenosis. Intracoronary injection of acetylcholine induced a spasm on the distal right coronary artery, but not in the left coronary artery. In the rest 201Tl study, septal perfusion was low on the early image, although partial redistribution of this site was observed on the delayed image without the appearance of chest pain or electrocardiographic ischemic change. Similary, in the 201Tl exercise study undergone 2 weeks later, septal redistribution was diagnosed because the early image had decreased septal perfusion. Both the exercise 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine study and the rest 123I-betamethyl-p-iodophenyl-pentadecanoic acid study showed inferior abnormalities on the early and delayed images. Although a coronary spasm was not induced in the left anterior descending artery with the acetylcholine test, septal redistribution was observed on the delayed image of both the rest and exercise 201Tl studies. The mechanism of the redistribution on the rest 201Tl study was unclear.
