The purpose of this study was to determine the biodistribution of ^sup 99m^Tc-tetrofosmin during intravenous infusion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and to evaluate the potential diagnostic value of myocardial tomography with ^sup 99m^Tc-tetrofosmin during ATP infusion for the detection of coronary artery disease. Methods: Myocardial ^sup 99m^Tc-tetrofosmin imaging with ATP infusion and coronary arteriography were performed on 65 patients with suspected coronary artery disease. ATP was infus...
