Radionuclide techniques for the assessment of myocardial viability.
O ver the past decade the number of patients presenting with heart failure has increased exponentially. It has been estimated that 4.7 million patients in the USA have chronic heart failure, with 400 000 new cases per year, resulting in one million hospitalisations. The diagnostic and therapeutic costs involved with heart failure are estimated to be more than $11 billion per year. Gheorghiade a...

Accurate identification of viable myocardium is crucial in patient qualification for medical or surgical treatment. Only persons with confirmed cardiac viability will benefit from revascularization procedures. It is also well known, that the amount of viable myocardium assessed preoperatively is the best indicator of long term cardiac event free survival after cardiac intervention.There are sev...
متن کاملStunning, hibernation, and assessment of myocardial viability.
The last 3 decades have witnessed an unprecedented improvement in the outcome of patients with acute coronary syndromes. The widespread use of thrombolytic therapy and percutaneous coronary interventions, in association with increasingly potent antithrombotic agents, has contributed to significant reductions in mortality and morbidity in these patients. Although overall survival has improved, a...
متن کاملAssessment of Myocardial Viability After Thrombolysis
T he time course of absolute myocardial ischemia is rapid. With the interruption of blood flow to the myocardium, aerobic metabolism ceases within 10 seconds,1 and soon even anaerobic metabolism is inhibited due to the accumulation of H', lactate, and other metabolites. To preserve limited in situ stores of preformed high-energy phosphate, systolic contraction is markedly inhibited, generally c...
