Abstract
A resting perfusion defect detected during radioisotope myocardial perfusion imaging is generally thought to represent myocardial infarction. The administration of nitroglycerin during cardiac PET imaging results in improved resting defects, which suggests transiently abnormal resting perfusion with silent myocardial ischemia.
