From the abstract
Takayasu Arteritis (TA) is a large vessel vasculitis involving the aorta and its major branches, which could be complicated by significant cardiovascular manifestations. A woman with TA, severe aortic regurgitation, and mild global left ventricular hypokinesis underwent Technetium-99m (Tc-99m) sestamibi (MIBI) myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS).
