COMPOSITION AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING SIZE AND LOCATION OF MYOCARDIAL INFARCTS

摘要

Abstract of the DisclosureRadioactive labelled antibody for cardiac myosin isinjected intravenously after cardiac occlusion and is specificallyabsorbed in infarcted myocardium, as are radioactive labelledlower molecular weight fragments of the antibody such as (Fab')2,(Fab'), and (Fv). The location and size of the myocardial infarctcan be determined by measuring the intensity and location ofradioactive emission externally of the heart.
