          Abstract

          10 long-term hemodialysis patients had immediate and redistribution thallium-201 myocardial imaging performed after a course of hemodialysis. Subjects had EKGs done on the same day before and after dialysis. 3 of the 10 subjects had resting thallium-201 myocardial imaging obtained on non-dialysis days. 60% of the electrocardiograms showed changes with dialysis. All 13 thallium studies were abnormal, showing multiple transient filling defects at rest. Most subjects had permanent filling defects as well. It is concluded that hemodialysis patients have a high frequency of abnormal thallium-201 myòcardial images at rest. The cause of these abnormal studies is uncertain.
