Tc-99m pyrophosphate myocardial scanning in Chagas' disease.

Journal of nuclear medicine : official publication, Society of Nuclear Medicine, 1981, Volume: 22, Issue:4

Chagas' disease is a serious protozoan infection affecting up to 20% of populations in some endemic areas. Myocarditis and cardiomyopathy occur in 50% of patients who go on to develop chronic Chagas' disease. We have studied a patient with no overt cardiac symptoms who revealed intense myocardial uptake of Tc-99m pyrophosphate. The significance of this finding in relation to early detection and progress of therapy is explored.
