Neurological applications for myocardial MIBG scintigraphy.
Signs or symptoms of impaired autonomic regulation of circulation are typically present in patients affected by Parkinson's disease (PD), in agreement with the cardiac sympathetic denervation discovered by Goldstein more than 15 yrs. ago. In particular, the majority of PD patients have a diffuse left ventricular myocardial sympathetic denervation, being a normal neurological condition present o...
متن کامل123I-MIBG myocardial scintigraphy in patients with "takotsubo" cardiomyopathy.
UNLABELLED The clinical characteristics of reversible left ventricular dysfunction due to "takotsubo" cardiomyopathy have been described, but the origin of this condition remains unclear. This study investigated (123)I-metaiodobenzlguanidine ((123)I-MIBG) myocardial scintigraphy in patients with takotsubo cardiomyopathy. METHODS Eight consecutive patients with takotsubo cardiomyopathy were st...
متن کاملPrognostic value of myocardial MIBG scintigraphy findings in patients with cardiomyopathy--importance of background correction for quantification of MIBG activity.
OBJECTIVE To assess the prognostic value of I-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy findings, and establish the most appropriate method for calculating myocardial MIBG activity in patients with left ventricular dysfunction due to cardiomyopathy (CM). METHODS Predictors of cardiac death related to progressive heart failure (HF) were examined in 150 patients with CM (80 patients with ...
متن کاملDiagnostic and Pathophysiological Impact of Myocardial MIBG Scintigraphy in Parkinson's Disease
Myocardial MIBG scintigraphy is established in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Numerous studies address the pathophysiological impact of myocardial MIBG scintigraphy: the myocardial MIBG uptake correlates with the clinical phenotype of PD; the background of this phenomenon is unclear. Furthermore MIBG scintigraphy enables to study the extracranial Lewy body...
متن کاملSerial change in 123I-MIBG myocardial scintigraphy in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
PURPOSE We performed 123I-MIBG (MIBG) myocardial scintigraphy twice in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) to investigate whether MIBG distribution was improved by pertinent clinical control. To determine the influential factors for MIBG distribution, we investigated the association between various clinical parameters and the serial change in MIBG uptake parameters. ...
