چکیده

introduction: the relationship between depression and coronary artery disease is well established; however assessment of this relationship using functional and semi-quantitative imaging (myocardial perfusion scintigraphy) was lacking. the aim of this study was to assess the relationship between the severity of depression and the severity of myocardial perfusion abnormality. methods: patients were assessed with rest/stress 99mtc-mibi myocardial perfusion scintigraphy using single photon emission computed tomography (spect) and beck depression inventory (bdi-ii). visual and semi-quantitative assessment of myocardial perfusion score (mps) in a five-scale measurement for standard 20-segment-model were used. results: when all patients (n=167) were evaluated, no correlation was found between mps and bdi-score. considering only those with significant perfusion abnormality (mps95) (p=0.097), but other myocardial walls failed to show such association. conclusion: in patients with significant perfusion abnormality, the greater is this abnormality the more severe is the depression. also patients with inferior wall infarction, have a higher bdi-score as compared with normal subjects.

Evaluation of myocardial perfusion and function after kidney transplantation by Gated SPECT myocardial perfusion scintigraphy

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of successful kidney transplantation (KT) on myocardial perfusion and left ventricular function by both qualitative (visual) interpretation and semiquantitative parameters, using myocardial perfusion scintigraphy with gated-single photon emission computed tomography (gated-SPECT) in patients suffering from end-stage renal disease. ...

Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy.

Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) is the only widely available method of direct assessment of myocardial perfusion. It involves intravenous injection of small amounts of a radioactive tracer at peak stress, followed by imaging of the heart with a gamma camera. There are three commercially available tracers: thallium-201 and two technetium-labelled tracers, sestamibi and tetrofosmin. All t...

Benefits of combined pharmacologic and submaximal exercise stress on Sub-diaphragmatic activity in myocardial perfusion scintigraphy

Introduction: Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is an important imaging modality in managing patients with cardiovascular disease. MPI has a significant role in diagnosis and management of cardiovascular disease; however it is subjected to different artifacts. Combining pharmacologic stress with submaximal exercise reduces side effects, improves image quality, and enhances the...

The myocardial perfusion scintigraphy in asymptomatic diabetic patients

Introduction: Asymptomatic diabetic patients are at increased risk of cardiovascular complications. Myocardial perfusion scan may be effective in risk evaluation in this population. Methods: 106 asymptomatic diabetic patients (age: min: 37, max: 82, mean: 57.73±8.88), including 56 females (52.8%) and 50 males (47.2%) were enrolled in the study. Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy was performed b...

Tc-99m-MIBI in evaluation of myocardial perfusion [Persian]

Tc-99m-MIBI is an isonrtrile derivative used for evaluation of myocardial perfusion in recent years. In this preliminary report, 7 patients with coronary artery disease are evaluated with Tc-99m-MlBl stress planar and sped studies. Good correlation with coronary angiography is observed in these cases. In view of inherent technical problems present with thallium 201, Tc-99m-MIBi is a good ...
