Neurological applications for myocardial MIBG scintigraphy.
Signs or symptoms of impaired autonomic regulation of circulation are typically present in patients affected by Parkinson's disease (PD), in agreement with the cardiac sympathetic denervation discovered by Goldstein more than 15 yrs. ago. In particular, the majority of PD patients have a diffuse left ventricular myocardial sympathetic denervation, being a normal neurological condition present o...
متن کامل123I-MIBG myocardial scintigraphy in patients with "takotsubo" cardiomyopathy.
UNLABELLED The clinical characteristics of reversible left ventricular dysfunction due to "takotsubo" cardiomyopathy have been described, but the origin of this condition remains unclear. This study investigated (123)I-metaiodobenzlguanidine ((123)I-MIBG) myocardial scintigraphy in patients with takotsubo cardiomyopathy. METHODS Eight consecutive patients with takotsubo cardiomyopathy were st...
متن کاملCombined use of DAT-SPECT and cardiac MIBG scintigraphy in mixed tremors.
The cooccurrence of rest and postural tremor (mixed tremor) as the predominant clinical manifestation in patients who do not fulfill diagnostic established criteria for essential tremor (ET) or Parkinson's disease (PD) poses a clinical diagnostic challenge. Twenty-two patients with mixed tremor and additional mild extrapyramidal features, such as bradykinesia and rigidity, 20 patients with prob...
متن کاملMyocardial perfusion scintigraphy: interpretation of a normal scan
Although a number of imaging modalities are available to non-invasively evaluate patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease (CAD), myocardial perfusion scintig-raphy (MPS) with single photon emission computed tomog-raphy (SPECT) has been the workhorse for this purpose for over decades [1]. Notwithstanding its high sensitivity to detect ischaemia (85–90 %), a caveat of a normal per...
متن کاملA clinical role for [(123)I]MIBG myocardial scintigraphy in the distinction between dementia of the Alzheimer's-type and dementia with Lewy bodies.
OBJECTIVE Scintigraphy with [(123)I]metaiodobenzyl guanidine ([(123)I]MIBG) enables the quantification of postganglionic sympathetic cardiac innervation. Recently, myocardial [(123)I]MIBG scintigraphy has been found to be useful in distinguishing Parkinson's disease, a Lewy body disease, from other akinetic rigid syndromes. Some patients initially diagnosed with dementia of the Alzheimer's type...
