Cardiac 123 I - MIBG scintigraphy – why , how and who ?
The cardiac sympathetic nervous system in health and disease Anatomically the heart, particularly the left ventricular (LV) myocardium, has dense sympathetic innervation. Postganglionic neurons originate in the thoracic, stellate and cervical ganglia of the sympathetic chain, and run alongside the coronary arteries from the base to the apex of the heart, innervating myocardium and blood vessels...
متن کاملMyocardial Iodine-123-Metaiodobenzylguanidine (I-MIBG) Imaging in Brugada Syndrome
(I-MIBG) Imaging in Brugada Syndrome To the Editor: We read with interest a recent article in Circulation by Wichter et al1 on cardiac autonomic dysfunction in Brugada syndrome. The authors demonstrated that regionally reduced iodine-123-metaiodobenzylguanidine (I-MIBG) uptake in the inferior and septal left ventricular wall was present in 8 (47%) of 17 patients with Brugada syndrome but in non...

متن کاملDetection of denervated but viable myocardium in cardiac sarcoidosis with I-123 MIBG and Tl-201 SPECT imaging.
A 58-year-old man, who had biopsy-proven cardiac sarcoidosis, underwent TI-201 and I-123 MIBG cardiac scintigraphy. Although no perfusion defect was identified by Tl-201, mild heterogeneity of I-123 MIBG uptake was present in the myocardium. The denervated but viable myocardium was demonstrated in the heart with sarcoidosis. Cardiac sympathetic nerve function was impaired in cardiac sarcoidosis...
متن کاملAssessment of global cardiac I-123 MIBG uptake and washout using volumetric quantification of SPECT acquisitions
BACKGROUND Assessment of cardiac innervation using single-photon emission computer tomography (SPECT) is less established than planar imaging, but may be more suitable for quantification. Therefore, a volumetric quantification of I-123 MIBG SPECT acquisitions was performed. Reproducibility, the effects of extra cardiac I-123 MIBG uptake and the relation with conventional planar indices were eva...
