چکیده

Heart Score View (HSV) is a free software package for automated quantification of myocardial single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging using a standard Windows computer. We compared scoring results of myocardial perfusion among visual analysis, Quantitative Perfusion SPECT (QPS), and HSV in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease.This study included 75 consecutive patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease who underwent adenosive stress-rest Tl-201 SPECT. Analysis of myocardial perfusion SPECT was performed on a standard 17-segment model visually and using QPS and HSV.There were 54 male and 21 female patients with a mean age of 70.5 ± 10.7 years. Thirteen patients (17%) had prior myocardial infarction. Summed stress score (SSS) and summed rest score (SRS) in the mid and basal areas were significantly higher on HSV than visual analysis or QPS. There was no significant difference in SDS in the whole area among the 3 methods. Similar results were found even in patients without prior myocardial infarction. Manual setting of the left ventricular cavity improved the correlations of SSS, SRS and SDS between HSV and the other methods.Our data suggested that HSV was comparable with visual analysis or QPS in scoring myocardial perfusion when manual setting of the left ventricular cavity is applied.

Prediction of Changes in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction after Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery by Myocardial Perfusion Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography

Introduction: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is considered to be the single most important prognostic factor in patients with previous myocardial infarction. LVEF is not improved in all patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This study aimed to assess the possibility of prediction of LVEF changes after CABG using myocardial perfusion gated signle photon emission compu...

Validation of dynamic three-dimensional whole heart magnetic resonance myocardial perfusion imaging against single photon emission computed tomography for the detection of functionally significant coronary heart disease

We demonstrate the feasibility of 3D myocardial perfusion CMR at 3 Tesla against single photon emission computer tomography for the detection and estimate of ischaemic burden and show good agreement between the techniques. This novel technique shows promising use of this method in a small cohort of patients to estimate ischaemic burden for purpose of risk stratification of patients with known o...

Role of myocardial perfusion imaging for risk stratification in suspected or known coronary artery disease.

Nuclear cardiology is an evolving specialty that has recently benefited from technological and radiopharmaceutical advances. As a result there has been an increase in the accuracy of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with gated single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) for assessing the diagnosis and prognosis of coronary artery disease. Moreover, ECG gated SPECT allows the simultaneo...
