Brand names: THALLOUS CHLORIDE Tl 201
12.1 Mechanism of Action Thallous chloride Tl 201 with no carrier added accumulates in viable myocardium in a manner analogous to that of potassium. Experiments in healthy subjects using labeled microspheres have shown that the myocardial distribution of thallous chloride Tl 201 correlates with regional perfusion. In clinical studies, Thallous Chloride Tl 201 images have been found to visualize areas of infarction as “cold” or nonlabeled regions that were confirmed by electrocardiographic and enzyme changes. Regions of transient myocardial ischemia corresponding to areas perfused by coronary arteries with partial stenoses have been visualized when Thallous Chloride Tl 201 Injection was administered in conjunction with an exercise stress test. Anatomic configurations may interfere with visualization of the right coronary artery territory.
