Adenosine Stress Induced Left Bundle Branch Block During Technetium-99m Tetrofosmin Myocardial Perfusion Imaging
The occurrence of left bundle branch block (LBBB) in electrocardiogram during exercise testing is a relatively rare finding. The incidence of LBBB during exercise testing ranges from 0.5% to 1.1%. The mechanism of exercise-induced LBBB (EI-LBBB) is poorly understood, but ischemia is a proposed etiology. Stress myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) can be useful in patients with EI-LBBB to rule out...
متن کاملImaging of Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor (PNET) by Technetium-99m Tetrofosmin
Purpose. Tc-99m tetrofosmin launched for myocardial studies has recently also shown a good detectability for several tumors. Data on PNET imaging by Tc-99m tetrofosmin are not yet available.Patient and method. In the case of a 21-year-old man suffering from pelvis PNET, Tc-99m tetrofosmin scintigraphy was performed additionally to CT and MRI.Results. The gluteal and iliac tumor masses were visu...
متن کاملRisk stratification of patients after myocardial revascularization by stress Tc-99m tetrofosmin myocardial perfusion tomography.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess the incremental prognostic value of stress technetium 99m tetrofosmin imaging after myocardial revascularization. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 381 patients (aged 60 +/- 10 years, 270 men), 4.5 +/- 3.2 years after myocardial revascularization (coronary artery bypass grafting in 201 patients and percutaneous coronary intervention in 180 patients)...
متن کاملTechnetium-99m-Teboroxime: A New Agent for Myocardial Perfusion Imaging
The assessment of myocardial perfusion by nuclear scintigraphy is an important diagnostic tool for the evaluation of patients with ischemic heart disease. Although a variety of radiopharmaceuticals have been used to assess coronary blood flow, thallium-201 ( 01 Tl) has become the most commonly used imaging agent since its introduction for clinical use by Lebowitz eta!. in 1973 (J). Thallium-20 ...
متن کاملLong-term prognostic value of exercise technetium-99m tetrofosmin myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography
BACKGROUND Exercise (99m)Tc-tetrofosmin single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is a useful tool for short- and medium-term risk stratifications. Currently, the long-term prognostic application of this technique has not been evaluated. METHODS AND RESULTS Exercise (99m)Tc-tetrofosmin was performed in 655 consecutive patients. Ten patients who underwent revascularization <60 days af...
