Tc-99m pyrophosphate myocardial imaging in perimyocarditis.
A focal or diffuse pattern of Tc-99m pyrophosphate (Tc-99m PPi) myocardial uptake may occur in patients with acute myocardial necrosis from various causes. A recent study has shown intense Tc-99m PPi myocardial uptake in experimental viral perimyocarditis in mice. This report describes a patient with perimyocarditis, with intense, persistent, and generalized myocardial uptake of Tc99m PPi.

[Scintigraphic diagnosis of experimentally induced pericarditis in dogs using 99mTc-labelled pyrophosphate (author's transl)].
In the present paper the possibilities of scintigraphic diagnosis of experimental pericarditis are discussed. Pericarditis was induced by either talc or formaldehyde intrapericardially. In all animals the administration of talc as well as formaldehyde produced inflammatory changes which were more serious after formaldehyde. The scan of the talc pericarditis was carried out on the 7th day after operation and of the formaldehyde pericarditis on the 3rd, 7th or 14th days. No positive scintigraphic finding was made in any of the experimental animals, apart from a massive incorporation in the operation scars. The counting of radioactive impulses after the exstirpation of the tissue samples confirmed the scintigraphic findings. Statistical evaluation did not reveal any essential difference between the accumulation of the radiopharmaceutical into the pericarditis as well as into the pericardial bag in comparison with the control animals. Although our model does not exactly reflect the situation of patients suffering from pericarditis it may be assumed that pyrophosphate scintigraphy is not suitable for the diagnosis of acute pericarditis in clinical practice.
