Cardiolite 50 mg is a radiopharmaceutical agent commonly used in nuclear medicine for diagnostic purposes, specifically in myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) procedures. It contains Technetium-99m (Tc-99m) sestamibi, which helps visualize the flow of blood to the heart muscle. During a stress test or at rest, Cardiolite helps detect areas with reduced blood flow, often indicating coronary artery disease (CAD) or other cardiac conditions.
It is administered intravenously by healthcare professionals, and the radiation emitted is captured by special cameras to produce detailed images of the heart. Cardiolite is safe for most patients when used under medical supervision, though some may experience mild side effects such as dizziness or a headache.
This imaging agent plays a critical role in diagnosing heart-related conditions, guiding treatments, and improving patient outcomes.
