چکیده
Background: proper assessment of patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy is a key determinant for management other investigations, improving the patient’s quality life and reducing future cardiac events. This study was conducted to evaluate value myocardial MIBI washout rate using delayed resting perfusion imaging in limited resources countries. Patients Methods: this prospective included 86 (64 males (74.4%) & 22 females (25.6%) ejection fraction less than 35%. The mean age 56.7 ± 9.4 years, all underwent ECG-gated single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) technetium-99m (99mTc MIBI).

Evaluation of Cardiac Mitochondrial Function by a Nuclear Imaging Technique using Technetium-99m-MIBI Uptake Kinetics
Mitochondria play an important role in energy production for the cell. The proper function of a myocardial cell largely depends on the functional capacity of the mitochondria. Therefore it is necessary to establish a novel and reliable method for a non-invasive assessment of mitochondrial function and metabolism in humans. Although originally designed for evaluating myocardial perfusion, 99mTc...

Objective: We sought to determine the usefulness of the 99mTc-MIBI (MIBI) washout rate for the evaluation of steroid therapy in cardiac sarcoidosis (CS). Methods: Eleven CS patients underwent MIBI myocardial SPECT both before and 6 months after initiating steroid therapy. The washout rate (WOR) of MIBI was calculated using early and delayed polar map images. The washout score (WOS) of MIBI was ...
