Implication

May warrant caution with oral dipyridamole in severe CAD; case report leaves open incidence and causality.

Structured PICO

P
Population
1 77-year-old woman with suspected coronary artery disease
I
Intervention
Oral dipyridamole 300 mg suspension for thallium-201 myocardial imaging
O
Outcome
Acute myocardial infarction (chest pain, hypotension, nausea, diaphoresis, ST-T wave changes, cardiac enzyme elevation)safety

Oral dipyridamole used for myocardial imaging can precipitate acute myocardial infarction in patients with severe coronary artery stenosis.
