چکیده
he sympathetic nervous system of the heart is critically involved in the maintenance of cardiovascular homoeostasis by regulating cardiac contractility, conduction, heart frequency and peripheral vasoconstriction.1 It has been shown that a dysfunctional cardiac sympathetic nervous system exerts detrimental effects on the structural and functional integrity of the myocardium, leading to a marked increase in the morbidity and mortality of patients with cardiac disease.2 Myocardial imaging with 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG), an analog of norepinephrine, is useful for detecting abnormalities of the sympathetic nervous system of the heart in patients with heart failure.3,4 Because the washout rate (WR) evaluated by 123I-MIBG scintigraphy is known to reflect the degree of cardiac sympathetic nerve activity,4 a high WR has useful prognostic value in patients with cardiovascular disease.5,6

Uptake index of 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine myocardial scintigraphy for diagnosing Lewy body disease
Objective(s): Iodine-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) myocardial scintigraphy has been used to evaluate cardiac sympathetic denervation in Lewy body disease (LBD), including Parkinson’s disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). The heart-tomediastinum ratio (H/M) in PD and DLB is significantly lower than that in Parkinson’s plus syndromes and Alzheimer’s disease. Although this ra...

Objective(s): High-risk neuroblastoma is a childhood cancer with poorprognosis despite modern multimodality therapy. Internal radiotherapy using131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) is effective for treating the disease even if it isresistant to chemotherapy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacyof 131I-MIBG radiotherapy combined with myeloablative high-dose chemotherapyand...
متن کاملInfluence of diabetes mellitus on prognostic utility of imaging of myocardial sympathetic innervation in heart failure patients.
BACKGROUND Patients with diabetes mellitus have accelerated progression of heart failure and often have impaired cardiac sympathetic innervation. The present study examines the implications for heart failure progression of cardiac sympathetic denervation, assessed by I-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine imaging, in diabetic compared with nondiabetic subjects. METHODS AND RESULTS We evaluated 343 dia...
