Radionuclide imaging in ischaemic heart failure.
INTRODUCTION OR BACKGROUND Many tests are available for the investigation of patients with heart failure. The identification of the underlying aetiology of ventricular dysfunction is crucial as early treatment may limit or even reverse myocardial abnormalities. SOURCES OF DATA This article describes cardiac radionuclide imaging techniques and their applications in ischaemic ventricular dysfun...
متن کاملThe diagnostic role of gated myocardial perfusion imaging and radionuclide ventriculography in severe congenital heart disease.
Several techniques have been applied for the assessment of severe congenital heart diseases (SCHD) including echocardiography, cardiac catheterization with angiocardiography, and more recently, cardiovascular multi detector tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The value of gated single photon emission tomography (GSPET) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and radionuclide ventricul...
متن کاملRadionuclide Imaging of Neurohormonal System of the Heart
Heart failure is one of the growing causes of death especially in developed countries due to longer life expectancy. Although many pharmacological and instrumental therapeutic approaches have been introduced for prevention and treatment of heart failure, there are still limitations and challenges. Nuclear cardiology has experienced rapid growth in the last few decades, in particular the applica...
متن کاملRadionuclide imaging of infection.
Although our understanding of microorganisms has advanced significantly and antimicrobial therapy has become increasingly available, infection remains a major cause of patient morbidity and mortality. The role of radionuclide imaging in the evaluation of the patient suspected of harboring an infection varies with the situation. For example, in the postoperative patient, radionuclide imaging is ...
متن کاملRadionuclide Small Intestine Imaging
The aim of this overview article is to present the current possibilities of radionuclide scintigraphic small intestine imaging. Nuclear medicine has a few methods-scintigraphy with red blood cells labelled by means of (99m)Tc for detection of the source of bleeding in the small intestine, Meckel's diverticulum scintigraphy for detection of the ectopic gastric mucosa, radionuclide somatostatin r...
