✦ Synopsis

The regional myocardial distribution of 131i_16_iodo_9_hexadecenoic acid (131I_HA) and 2°lTl-thallium chloride (2°1T1C1) was determined in normal dogs and after occlusion of a coronary artery. The uptake of 131I-HA was about 20% lower than that of 2°IT1C1 but the ratio 2°1T1/131I was the same for the whole myocardium within narrow limits for normal as well as infarcted tissue. The potential of 123I-HA as a radiopharmaceutical for diagnosis of myocardial defects is discussed.
