ABSTRACT
This study aimed to compare between wall motion abnormalities detected by echocardiography and myocardial perfusion abnormalities detected by thallium-201 scintigraphy in patients undergoing these investigations after uncomplicated acute myocardial infarction. The study included 20 patients [14 males and six females] who survived acute myocardial infarction. Technically satisfactory echocardiograms and scintigraphic images were obtained in all patients. Resting wall motion abnormalities were detected on echocardiography in 18/20 patients, whereas myocardial perfusion defects on thallium-201 scintigraphy were found in all patients
