Independent and Incremental Prognostic Value of Tl Lung Uptake at Rest in Patients With Severe Postischemic Left Ventricular Dysfunction
Background—An elevated Tl lung uptake after stress is related to an adverse prognosis. Methods and Results—The functional and prognostic significance of resting Tl lung uptake was assessed in 124 consecutive patients with ischemic heart disease and ejection fraction #35% undergoing rest-redistribution tomography to evaluate myocardial viability. Tl lung uptake significantly correlated with pulm...

BACKGROUND An elevated (201)Tl lung uptake after stress is related to an adverse prognosis. METHODS AND RESULTS The functional and prognostic significance of resting (201)Tl lung uptake was assessed in 124 consecutive patients with ischemic heart disease and ejection fraction </=35% undergoing rest-redistribution tomography to evaluate myocardial viability.

متن کاملHigh myocardial 18F-FDG uptake after chemotherapy in the presence of left ventricular dysfunction as well as 3-month later with no left ventricular dysfunction
Diffusely increased glucose metabolic activity in the right and left ventricles using 2-deoxy-2-(F-18) fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDGPET/CT) and global left ventricular hypokinesia at echocardiography can be evident in acute myocarditis. But, there has been no case report that the ventricular 18F-FDGuptake remains unchanged even ...
متن کاملBaseline/postnitrate tetrofosmin SPECT for myocardial viability assessment in patients with postischemic severe left ventricular dysfunction: new evidence from MRI.
UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to compare (99m)Tc-tetrofosmin SPECT with contrast-enhanced MRI (ceMRI), a new direct sign of myocardial fibrosis. METHODS We studied 21 patients (age, 60 +/- 11 y; 19 male) with previous myocardial infarction and severe left ventricular dysfunction (ceMRI EF, 29% +/- 6%). All patients underwent resting and postnitrate (intravenous isosorbide dinitrate) (9...
متن کاملEvaluation of heart disease in patients with beta-thalessemia major referred to Shahid Madanni Hospital in Khorram Abad in 2003
Background: Patients with beta-thalessemia major present with severe anemia and need continous transfusion therapy. An important complication of beta-thalessemia major is iron deposition in cardiac tissue, resulting in fibrosis and dysfunction. Cardiac involvement is the major cause of death in beta-thalessemia major. The purpose of this study was to assess cardiac disease patients with bet...
