Assessment of myocardial viability by dobutamine echocardiography, positron emission tomography and thallium-201 SPECT: correlation with histopathology in explanted hearts.
OBJECTIVES We examined the relationship among viability assessment by dobutamine echocardiography (DE), positron emission tomography (PET) and thallium-201 single-photon emission computed tomography (TI-SPECT) to the degree of fibrosis. BACKGROUND DE, PET and TI-SPECT have been shown to be sensitive in identifying viability of asynergic myocardium. However, PET and TI-SPECT indicated viabilit...
متن کاملImaging Cellular Proliferation in Prostate Cancer with Positron Emission Tomography
Prostate cancer remains a major public health problem worldwide. Imaging plays an important role in the assessment of disease at all its clinical phases, including staging, restaging after definitive therapy, evaluation of therapy response, and prognostication. Positron emission tomography with a number of biologically targeted radiotracers has been demonstrated to have potential diagnostic and...
متن کاملLow dose dobutamine echocardiography for predicting functional recovery after coronary revascularisation.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of chronic coronary occlusion on the accuracy of low dose dobutamine echocardiography in predicting recovery of dysfunctional myocardium after revascularisation. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING Tertiary referral centre. PATIENTS 53 consecutive patients with >/= 70% stenosis of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) and regional ventricular...
متن کاملPrediction of global left ventricular function after bypass surgery in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction. Impact of pre-operative myocardial function, perfusion, and metabolism.
AIMS Previous studies have compared the accuracy of various tests of viability for the prediction of recovery of regional left ventricular function; global left ventricular recovery has been less well studied, although it has important prognostic and functional ramifications. We sought to identify the relative contribution of ischaemia, regional and global contractile reserve, perfusion and met...
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...
