Comparative study of dobutamine stress echocardiography and dual single-photon emission computed tomography (thallium-201 and I-123 BMIPP) for assessing myocardial viability after acute myocardial infarction.
Discordance between the (123)I-labelled 15-iodophenyl-3-R, S-methyl pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) and (201)Tl findings may indicate myocardial viability (MV). This study compared dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) using the dual tracers for assessment of MV and prediction of functional recovery after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). DS...
متن کاملAssessment 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 کاملSerial Myocardial Imaging after a Single Dose of Thallium-201
Although thallium-201 exercise scintigraphy has been established for the detection of myocardial ischemia and viability, little is known regarding the myocardial thallium-201 kinetics during angioplasty. Herein, we report a 77-year old man with angina pectoris, in whom serial myocardial imaging after a single dose of thallium-201 was helpful in identifying not only the culprit lesion and myocar...
متن کاملAssessed by Quantitative Thallium-201 Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography
The extent of abnormally perfused myocardium was compared in patients with and without chest pain during treadmill exercise from a large, relatively low-risk consecutive patient population (n=356) referred for quantitative thallium-201 single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). All patients had concurrent coronary angiography. Patients were excluded if they had prior coronary angioplas...
متن کاملImproved detection of myocardial infarction by emission computed tomography with thallium-201. Relation to infarct size.
Emission computed tomography with thallium-201 was compared with planar imaging in its ability to detect myocardial infarctions of various sizes four weeks after the onset. Tomography was performed after planar imaging at rest in 160 patients with a first myocardial infarction, in whom infarct size was prospectively estimated by the peak value of creatine kinase activity at the time of the acut...
