Meta-123I-iodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG), which is an analog of norepinephrine, can be used to evaluate the integrity and function of sympathetic nerve endings in the heart. Myocardial uptake of 123I-MIBG was studied in 30 myocardial infarction patients and compared with the distribution of blood f
