After labeling of red blood cells in vivo, a sequential series of acquisition is carried out at rest and during increasing doses of dobutamine (5/10/15 μg / kg / min). The duration of acquisition is 300 seconds. The acquisitions are carried out on dedicated cardiac gamma-camera with ultrafast Cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) detectors (DiscoveryNM530c, General electric Healthcare Israel, Israel)

The passage of a radiopharmaceutical bolus through the cavities of the heart and myocardium at rest and during infusion of adenosine at a dosage of 140 mcg / kg / min (for 4 minutes) is recorded. At the peak of the stress test (after 2 minutes of administration of adenosine), a 5 ml bolus (dose 260-444 MBq) of 99mTc-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) is administered at a rate of 1 ml / s. Immediately after the end of tracer administration, 30 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) is infused. A scintigraphic recording of the study begins 5 seconds before the administration of the radiopharmaceutical. The next day, the study at rest is carried out. Scintigraphic images are recorded in tomographic mode with ECG synchronization for 600 s, at list mode. The acquisitions are carried out on dedicated cardiac gamma-camera with ultrafast CZT detectors (DiscoveryNM530c, General electric Healthcare Israel, Israel)
