Prognostic stratification using dobutamine stress 99mTc-tetrofosmin myocardial perfusion SPECT in elderly patients unable to perform exercise testing.
UNLABELLED Information on the prognostic value of noninvasive stress imaging techniques in the elderly is relatively scarce. This study assessed the prognostic value of dobutamine stress (99m)Tc-tetrofosmin SPECT for the prediction of mortality and cardiac events in elderly patients. METHODS Clinical information and SPECT results were analyzed for 272 consecutive patients > or = 65 y old (mea...
متن کاملSubmaximal exercise testing plus atropine in myocardial perfusion SPECT.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic value of using myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with intravenous atropine administration at the end of submaximal exercise testing. METHODS One milligram of atropine was administered intravenously at the end of exercise testing to 172 patients who underwent a symptom-limite...
متن کاملMyocardial perfusion SPECT: Perfusion quantification
Different software tools for quantification of myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS) studies are routinely used. Several perfusion parameters can be computed automatically. Interpretation of the MPS should start with visual inspection of the rotating planar images, visual analysis of reconstructed SPECT slices and then quantitative analysis to confirm the visual impression. Quantification should be...
متن کاملMAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS IN NUCLEAR CARDIOLOGY: III Prognostic value of gated myocardial perfusion SPECT
Risk assessment has become increasingly important in this era of evidence-based medicine in which new and existing technology requires a well-defined body of evidence on its societal benefit in order to support resource utilization. Historically, test accuracy has been defined by using sensitivity and specificity for the detection of obstructive coronary disease. However, this measurement is fr...
متن کاملAttenuation correction in myocardial perfusion SPECT using sequential transmission - emission scanning with 99mTc [Persain]
Introduction: Nowadays, Imaging of the myocardial perfusion (MPI) using the single photon emission tomography (SPET) in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease, especially myocardial ischemia, is of great importance. In contrast to the coronary artery angiography, MPI is non-invasive, less expensive and more physiological. Unfortunately, this image is affected by the some artifacts. Thes...
