Metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy of cardiac sympathetic innervation.
Metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG), a noradrenaline analogue,labelled with radioactive iodine I-123 is used for assessing pre-synaptic activity of the myocardial adrenergic system. The paper describes the mechanism of myocardial I-123-MIBG uptake and the relevant examination methods. It also refers to the necessity of standardising acquisition methods and assessment criteria in order to improve com...
متن کاملassessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea
data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
Dysinnervation in Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy An Analysis Using 1231-Meta-Iodobenzylguanidine Scintigraphy
Background In patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), the frequent provocation of ventricular tachycardia during exercise, the sensitivity toward catecholamines, and the response toward antiarrhythmic drug regimen with antiadrenergic properties suggest an involvement of the sympathetic nervous system in arrhythmogenesis. Methods and Results To analyze the presence,...
متن کاملImprovement of cardiac sympathetic nerve function in sarcoidosis.
Some patients with sarcoidosis can have cardiac involvement. Impairment of the cardiac sympathetic nerve activity is seen in about 50% of the sarcoidosis patients with small fiber neuropathy. In this case we present a sarcoidosis patient with small fiber neuropathy and cardiac symptoms with a cardiac sympathetic dysfunction, assessed with I-123 MIBG SPECT. After 5 months of treatment with carve...
متن کاملDiagnostic Accuracy of 123I-Meta-Iodobenzylguanidine Myocardial Scintigraphy in Dementia with Lewy Bodies: A Multicenter Study
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) needs to be distinguished from Alzheimer's disease (AD) because of important differences in patient management and outcome. Severe cardiac sympathetic degeneration occurs in DLB, but not in AD, offering a potential system for a biological diagnostic marker. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic accuracy, in the ant...
