SIGNIFICANCE OF PERFUSION DEFECTS ON DIPYRIDAMOLE THALLIUM CARDIAC SPECT IN PATIENTS WITH LEFT BUNDLE

Background: Left Bundle Branch Block (LBBB) is a known cause of false positive results in myocardial perfusion studies. We aimed at investigation of correlation between degree of severity of perfusion defect on cardiac Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) and presence of coronary artery disease on angiography in patients with LBBB. Study Design: This was an analytical study and was carried out at Department of Nuclear Cardiology and Departmen
