Abstract

Equilibration of radiopotassium (K⁴²) in patients undergoing open intracardiac operation was studied to allow comparison of equilibration curves and determine minimum sampling times following injection both preoperatively and soon after operation. The data indicate urine samples obtained 28 through 44 hours after tracer administration are adequate to insure almost complete tracer distribution and allow comparable values of total exchangeable potassium, preoperatively and postoperatively.
