Importance of renal function on prognostic value of cardiac iodine-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy.
OBJECTIVE Cardiac iodine-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) can be used to evaluate cardiac sympathetic nerve function and is useful for assessing the prognosis of patients with heart disease. Renal impairment in heart failure patients has been recognized as an independent risk factor for morbidity and mortality, and has been observed as abnormal uptake and washout of cardiac MIBG imaging. The ...
متن کاملIodine-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy in localising phaeochromocytomas--experience and meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND Recommendations on the use of I-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy in localising phaeochromocytomas vary. The accuracy of I-123 MIBG scintigraphy was determined by evaluating our own I-123 MIBG scans and performing a meta-analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between January 1992 and May 2002, the I-123 MIBG scans of consecutive patients suspected of a phaeochromocytoma were...
متن کاملIodine 123-phenylpentadecanoic acid myocardial scintigraphy: usefulness in the identification of myocardial ischemia.
In this study, we tested the hypothesis that myocardial ischemia induced by exercise in patients is associated with diminished metabolism and/or delayed clearance of an intravenously injected fatty acid, iodine 123-labeled phenylpentadecanoic acid (IPPA). Fifteen normal volunteers and 18 patients with significant coronary heart disease (CHD) received IPPA during exercise. In the patients with C...
متن کاملPulmonary Endothelial Impairment During Gefitinib Therapy: A Preliminary Assessment with Iodine-123-Metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I- MIBG) Scintigraphy
Iodine-123-metaiodobenzylguanidine ( 123 I-MIBG) kinetics in the lung could serve as a novel diagnostic tool to evaluate endothelial damage. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) associated with gefitinib, an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), has been reported as a serious adverse effect. This study was performed to examine the possibility that gefitinib induces...
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...
