Implication

Does not support clinical adoption; leaves open human validation of scintigraphic infarct sizing.

Structured PICO

Does a method using technetium-99m stannous pyrophosphate scintigrams and a three-dimensional model accurately size experimental acute anterior myocardial infarcts in dogs?

Population

Dogs with experimental, acute anterior myocardial infarcts

Intervention

Noninvasive sizing method using technetium-99m stannous pyrophosphate scintigrams and a three-dimensional model

Outcome

Accuracy of sizing experimental anterior infarctssurrogate

A noninvasive method using technetium-99m scintigraphy and 3D modeling accurately sizes experimental acute anterior myocardial infarctions in a canine model.

Limitations

Further testing is necessary to assess the capabilities of the technique for sizing other types of infarcts
