In this article, the role of nuclear medicine modalities in assessing myocardial viability and risk stratification in patients with advanced left ventricular (LV) dysfunction are reviewed. Diagnosis of reversible LV dysfunction in patients with heart failure is an important clinical issue. Patients with severe LV dysfunction who have viable myocardium are the patients at highest risk because of...
متن کاملFactors influencing predictive value of FDG imaging for evaluating myocardial viability.
Rational management of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and poor left ventricular (LV) function relies on proper identification of the subgroup at high risk and those who have the highest potential of benefiting from a particular type of treatment. Before the advent of imaging techniques to determine myocardial viability, many patients with CAD and low ejection fractions (EFs) were r...
متن کاملPositron emission tomography for the assessment of myocardial viability.
The detection of viable myocardium or ischemically injured myocardium with a reversible impairment of contractile function remains clinically important but challenging. Detection of reversible dysfunction and distinction from irreversible tissue injury by positron emission tomography is based on identification of preserved or even enhanced glucose metabolism with F-18 2-fluoro 2-deoxyglucose. R...

Assessment of myocardial viability 1>rior to revascularization procedures is an important clinical consideration for improved functional recovery of regional left ventricular dysfunction. In chronic coronary artery disease, impaired left ventricular function , at least in part, is due to ischemic or hibernating myocardium rather than just myocardial fibrosis. Functional recovery of the left ven...
متن کاملClinical applications of positron emission tomography in cardiology: a review.
Myocardial viability assessment is of utmost importance in the assessment of patients with poor left ventricular function undergoing revascularisation therapies or cardiac transplantation. Cardiac positron emission tomography (PET) is widely regarded as a "gold" standard in myocardial viability assessment. We review the current data on this subject with respect to tracers and techniques, and pr...
