Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability rest gated SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and intraventricular synchronism, identify heart failure (HF) patients most likely experience cardiac events. Methods We studied 165 with left ventricular ejection fraction less than 40%, who were divided in 2 groups according diagnosis coronary artery disease (group 1: 136 patients) or not 2: 29 patients). All underwent a MPI. Results In 160 patients, MPI abnormal. Mean summed...
To assess the ability of rest myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) to rule out an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in emergency department patients, as well investigate whether there exists a concordance between MPI and calcium.Fifty-five patients with chest pain normal or nondiagnostic ECG were included. Clinical follow-up was carried within 1 year.Sixteen (29%) showed abnormal MPI, 11 (20%) equivocal. There weak arteries calcium score (CACS) (κ: 0.25). Coronary angiogram driven by positive...
Background Coronary artery disease is frequent in postmenopausal women. Myocardial ischemia has been induced with stress testing, and a relationship between endothelial dysfunction perfusion defects reported. Objective To evaluate whether myocardial can be evidenced both by function abnormalities using gated single-photon emission computed-tomography scintigraphy technetium-labeled compounds women typical angina, normal coronary angiography, dysfunction. Methods Results Fifty-nine patients...
Background: Microvascular disease is proposed as a cause of segmental myocardial blood flow abnormalities and heterogeneous perfusion in cardiac syndrome X. Objective: To assess if ischemia can be evidenced through both poststress left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) reduction by gated single photon emission tomography (SPECT) scintigraphy women with X similar way to those epicardial coronary lesions. Methods: Three groups postmenopausal were studied: group I, 20 angina, defects, normal...
INTRODUCTION Myocardial reperfusion during the course of an acute myocardial infarction improves patients’ short- and long-term prognosis; coronary blood flow is successfully re-established while preserving a large amount at-risk muscle. Clinical evolution, however, varies. Presence residual ischemia or viable tissue affects patient’s prognosis. Assessment by noninvasive methods allows better prognostic stratification. Cardiac-gated SPECT provides appropriate parameters to support treatment...
To analyze the evolution post-cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) cardiomyopathy (CM) patients compared to other types of CM, according clinical and functional variables, by using gated-SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). Ninety-three (60 ± 11 years, 28% women) referred for pre-CRT assessment were studied divided into three groups: 1 (non-ischemic CM with LVNC, patients), 2 (ischemic 28 3 53 patients). All a 99mTc-MIBI MPI at rest...
The aim of the study was to identify possible association among myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) variables, coronary calcium score (CCS), and adverse events at medium term in type 2 asymptomatic diabetes mellitus patients.Patients who participated a first that included stress-rest MPI CCS assessment were asked take part this study. present protocol required control single-photon emission computerized tomography after 3 years. Forty-one patients gave their informed consent.Of 41 patients,...
