Abstract.

 The clinical significance of the paradoxical mismatched phenomenon between 201Tl and 123I-BMIPP is still unknown. We report two cases that revealed paradoxical regional myocardial uptake between two tracers in patients with cardiomyopathy. There may be abnormal myocardium in these patients where active transportation of 201Tl is disturbed and passive transportation of 123I-BMIPP is not disordered.
