Prognostic Value of Stress Myocardial Perfusion Positron Emission Tomography
Results Risk-adjusted hazard of cardiac death increased with each 10% myocardium abnormal with mildly, moderately, or severely abnormal stress PET (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.3 [95% CI: 1.4 to 3.8; p 0.001], HR: 4.2 [95% CI: 2.3 to 7.5; p 0.001], and HR: 4.9 [95% CI: 2.5 to 9.6; p 0.0001], respectively [normal MPI: referent]). Addition of percent myocardium ischemic and percent myocardium scarred to ...
متن کاملPositron emission tomography myocardial perfusion and glucose metabolism imaging.
Cardiac positron emission tomography (PET) imaging is a well-validated, reimbursable means to assess myocardial perfusion, left ventricular (LV) function, and viability. Presently, there is a proliferation of PET and PET/computed tomography (CT) instrumentation as well as an increase in educational programs that specifically address PET and PET/CT imaging. Technologists performing PET scans as ...
متن کاملPrognostic value of Rb-82 positron emission tomography myocardial perfusion imaging in coronary artery bypass patients.
AIMS We sought to determine the prognostic value of positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in patients with prior coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. PET MPI has recently been shown to provide incremental risk stratification for patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD), but the prognostic utility of PET MPI in CABG patients has not been well ...
متن کاملThe effect of fasting on Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging
As a nuclear approach, Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a functional imaging technique which is based on the detection of gamma ray pairs emitted by a positron-emitting radionuclide. There are certain limitations to this technique such as normal tissue uptake. Therefore, it has been recommended that patients prepare before scanning. Fasting for a short while before PET imaging is an exampl...
متن کاملPositron emission tomography imaging of coronary atherosclerosis
Inflammation has a central role in the progression of coronary atherosclerosis. Recent developments in cardiovascular imaging with the advent of hybrid positron emission tomography have provided a window into the molecular pathophysiology underlying coronary plaque inflammation. Using novel radiotracers targeted at specific cellular pathways, the potential exists to observe inflammation, apopto...
