Mismatched Regional Myocardial Uptake between 123I-BMIPP and 201Tl SPECT. Comparison between hypertrophic myocadrium and dilated myocardium.

Myocardial impairment detected by late gadolinium enhancement in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: comparison with 99mTc-MIBI/tetrofosmin and 123I-BMIPP SPECT.

PURPOSE Myocardial fibrosis is considered to be an important factor in myocardial dysfunction and sudden cardiac death in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The purpose of this study was to compare myocardial fibrosis detected by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiac MRI with myocardial perfusion and fatty acid metabolism assessed by single photon emission computed tomography in HCM. M...

Myocardial emission computed tomography with iodine-123-labeled beta-methyl-branched fatty acid in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

We studied whether emission computed tomography (ECT) with 123I-labeled 15-(p-iodophenyl)-3R,S-methylpentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) shows myocardial distribution different from 201Tl in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In 10 patients with asymmetric septal hypertrophy (ASH), 5 with diffuse hypertrophy and 2 with apical hypertrophy, ECT was acquired 30 min (early) and 4 hr (late) after injection of 123I...

Summary Impairment of Septal Uptake and Washout on 123I-BMIPP Myocardial SPECT after Pacemaker Implantation: Report of Two Cases

Case 1 involved a 62-year-old woman with complete atrioventricular block and case 2 involved a 70year-old woman with sick sinus syndrome. In both cases, echocardiography, 123I-15-(p-iodophenyl)-3R,S-methyl pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) and 99mTctetrofosmin myocardial single photon emission computed tomographic (SPECT) findings were normal. Coronary arteriography and left ventriculography also reve...

Midventricular Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy on 99mTc-tetrofosmin and 123I-BMIPP SPECT

[The characteristics of myocardial fatty acid metabolism in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy].

We evaluated the characteristics of myocardial fatty acid metabolism in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Myocardial imaging with 123I-beta-methyl iodophenyl pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) was performed in 28 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), 15 patients with hypertensive heart disease (HHD), 13 patients with aortic stenosis (AS) and 8 normal controls (NC). The patien...
