Myocardial viability assessment using nuclear imaging.
Myocardial assessment continues to be an issue in patients with coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction. Nuclear imaging has long played an important role in this field. In particular, PET imaging using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose is regarded as the metabolic gold standard of tissue viability, which has been supported by a wide clinical experience. Viability assessment using SPECT t...
متن کاملHybrid Imaging in the Assessment of Myocardial Ischemia and Viability
Myocardial ischemia results from a reduction in blood flow as a consequence of a coronary stenosis, which produces ischemia in the myocardial territories irrigated by the stenotic artery. Myocardial viability is a concept that derived from several studies in which it was observed that, even if revascularization occurred, an irreversible left ventricular contractile dysfunction remained. The ter...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging for the assessment of myocardial viability.
The identification of myocardial viability in the setting of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction is crucial for the prediction of functional recovery following revascularization. Although echocardiography, positron emission tomography (PET), and nuclear imaging have validated roles, recent advances in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) technology and availability have led to increased experience in...

متن کاملAssessment of Myocardial Viability with Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Accurate assessment of myocardial viability is a central goal in clinical diagnosis of ischemic heart disease, as well as in basic research into the underlying mechanisms of cardiac pathology. Clinical assessment of myocardial viability would have a significant impact on the management of patients with ischemic heart disease, by avoiding unnecessary revascularization procedures, as well as asse...
