Relevance of 123 I-BMIPP delayed scintigraphic imaging for patients with angina pectoris – a pilot study

Relevance of 123I-BMIPP delayed scintigraphic imaging for patients with angina pectoris – a pilot study

INTRODUCTION The study was designed to clarify the role of (123)I-β-methyl-iodophenylpentadecanoic acid ((123)I-BMIPP) in the evaluation of myocardial fatty acid metabolism in patients with stable angina pectoris (AP) before and after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). MATERIAL AND METHODS TEN CONTROLS (MEAN AGE: 70.4 ±10.5 years) and 12 patients with AP (mean age: 67.4 ±11.6 years) an...

Two phase imaging of 99mTc-SESTAMIBI and 123I-BMIPP for patients with angina pectoris.

We saw three cases of angina pectoris in which 99mTc-SESTAMIBI delayed images at rest were useful in diagnosing ischemia risk areas. These findings indicated that delayed 99mTc-SESTAMIBI images may be more sensitive to slight ischemia than 123I-BMIPP images, and suggested that imaging with 99mTc-SESTAMIBI twice at rest may be more effective. The addition of 123I-BMIPP SPECT was considered to be...

Anticardiolipin and Antiphospholipid Antibodies in Iraqi Patients with Angina Pectoris

Unstable angina pectoris. Clinical, angiographic, and myocardial scintigraphic observations.

The clinical, left ventricular and coronary angiographic data, and the technetium-99m stannous pyrophosphate (99mTc-PYP) myocardial scintigraphic results are presented in 31 patients with unstable angina pectoris. One-third of these patients had positive 99mTc-PYP myocardial scintigrams in a pattern suggesting limited and diffuse subendocardial necrosis. The positive 99mTc-PYP myocardial scinti...

[Assessment of myocardial fatty acid metabolism in patients with angina pectoris and diabetes mellitus using 123I-BMIPP myocardial scintigraphy].

PURPOSE We studied the effect of myocardial ischemia and diabetes mellitus (DM) on the myocardial fatty acid metabolism using 123I-BMIPP myocardial scintigraphy. METHODS We performed 123I-BMIPP myocardial scintigraphy in 50 patients with myocardial ischemia and without DM (AP), in 30 patients with myocardial ischemia and DM (AP + DM), 12 patients with DM and without myocardial ischemia (DM), ...
