Resumen

NOGARA, Romina et al. Distorsión morfológica isquémica de la onda T en la centellografía de perfusión miocárdica con estrés vasodilatador. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2017, vol.77, n.2, pp.130-134. ISSN 0025-7680.

The protocols using vasodilators to induce ischemia on myocardial perfusion scintigraphy have shown a high diagnostic accuracy and a very low incidence of serious complications. However, the physiological significance and diagnostic value of various electrocardiographic changes associated with vasodilator stress has not been deeply evaluated beyond the ST-segment. Five clinical cases presenting morphological distortion of the T-wave in electrocardiographic chest leads associated with varying degrees of perfusion defects are described, discussing potential contributions of these changes to the diagnosis and quantification of myocardial ischemia in imaging studies using vasodilator stress.

Palabras clave : Vasodilator-stress; T wave; Ischemia; Scintigraphy.
