PURPOSE Myocardial perfusion is routinely measured by SPECT--this technique has a rather low spatial resolution but covers the whole myocardium and is equipped with efficient image analysis software. Cardiac MRI has higher spatial resolution than SPECT and excellent sequences for myocardial function and viability detection but the lack of easy-to-use methods of acquisition and post-processing o...
OBJECTIVES We sought to determine the effects of nicotine patch therapy, when used to promote smoking cessation, on myocardial ischemia in patients with coronary artery disease. BACKGROUND Nicotine patches substantially increase quit rates among cigarette smokers, but their safety in patients with myocardial ischemia who are attempting to quit smoking is unknown. METHODS This is a prospecti...
BACKGROUND Real-time perfusion (RTP) contrast echocardiography can be used during adenosine stress echocardiography (ASE) to evaluate myocardial ischemia. We compared two different types of RTP power modulation techniques, angiomode (AM) and high-resolution grayscale (HR), with 99mTc-tetrofosmin single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) for the detection of myocardial ischemia. METHO...
introduction: although left ventricular(lv) function parameters measured by gated myocardial perfusion spect (gspect) have been validated, experimental data have revealed that the calculated the lv function parameters using gspect are affected by patient populations as well as particular acquisition and processing conditions. we tried to determine the normal values of gspect in an iranian popul...
BACKGROUND Real-time perfusion (RTP) contrast echocardiography using low mechanical index power modulation technique allows for simultaneous myocardial perfusion and wall motion analysis. RTP-adenosine stress echocardiography (ASE) could be an alternative to dobutamine-atropine stress echocardiography; more tolerable for the patients and possibly similarly accurate. We aimed to evaluate RTP-ASE...
We tested the hypothesis that 99mTc 2-methoxy-isobutyl-isonitrile (99mTc MIBI), a new radiopharmaceutical for myocardial perfusion imaging, provides accurate noninvasive detection of coronary artery disease (CAD). Imaging in patients after exercise and at rest with 99mTc MIBI was compared with imaging after exercise and redistribution with 201Tl in 12 normal subjects and 38 patients with angiog...
Introduction Myocardial SPECT has been utilized as an important tool for optimal decision making in cardiology. The Guidelines for the Clinical Use of Cardiac Radionuclide Imaging were originally published in 1986 in the USA and updated in 1995. 1 In Japan, Nuclear Cardiology Guidelines were also summarized and published in 2005 by the task force of the Japan Circulation Society, Japanese Socie...
Background First pass myocardial perfusion imaging by CMR may permit the detection of myocardial ischaemia with greater accuracy than single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Technical developments have led to improvements in myocardial perfusion CMR, particularly through accelerated data acquisition methods. These permit the acquisition of data at higher spatial resolution than conv...
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...
Coronary artery calcium score (CACS) is a strong predictor of adverse cardiovascular events in the general population. Recent data confirm the prognostic utility of single-photon emission computed tomographic (SPECT) imaging in end-stage renal disease, but whether performing CACS as part of hybrid imaging improves risk prediction in this population is unclear. Consecutive patients (n = 284) wer...
