Abnormalities of Cardiac Sympathetic Innervation in Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy Quantitative Assessment of Presynaptic Norepinephrine Reuptake and Postsynaptic b-Adrenergic Receptor Density With Positron Emission Tomography
Background—The frequent provocation of ventricular tachycardia by stress or catecholamines and the efficacy of antiarrhythmic drugs with antiadrenergic properties suggest an involvement of the cardiac adrenergic system in arrhythmogenesis in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). Previous studies demonstrated abnormalities of the presynaptic uptake-1 assessed by I...
متن کاملCardiac sympathetic dysfunction in genotyped patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy and risk of recurrent ventricular tachyarrhythmias.
UNLABELLED Patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) typically present with ventricular tachyarrhythmias preferentially triggered by an elevated sympathetic tone. Previous studies demonstrated an impairment of the presynaptic catecholamine reuptake as assessed by (123)I-labeled norepinephrine analog on metaiodobenzylguanidine ((123)I-MIBG) SPECT. Mutations in the gene...
متن کاملCardiac autonomic dysfunction in Brugada syndrome.
BACKGROUND Patients with Brugada syndrome present with characteristic ECG abnormalities (atypical right bundle-branch block and ST-segment elevation) and life-threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias despite structurally normal hearts. Involvement of the autonomic nervous system is suggested by the occurrence of ventricular tachyarrhythmias and sudden death at rest or during sleep and by change...
متن کاملRegional pre- and postsynaptic sympathetic system in the failing human heart--regulation of beta ARK-1.
OBJECTIVES Regional presynaptic sympathetic innervation varies considerably in the cardiomyopathic human heart, as shown in previous studies in vivo and in vitro. The goal of the present study was to correlate markers of presynaptic sympathetic innervation with local measurement of the postsynaptic beta-adrenergic system in failing human hearts. METHODS AND RESULTS In nine left ventricular re...
متن کاملCardiac neurotransmission imaging.
Cardiac neurotransmission imaging with SPECT and PET allows in vivo assessment of presynaptic reuptake and neurotransmitter storage as well as of regional distribution and activity of postsynaptic receptors. In this way, the biochemical processes that occur during neurotransmission can be investigated in vivo at a micromolar level using radiolabeled neurotransmitters and receptor ligands. SPECT...
