123I‐BMIPP single‐photon emission computed tomography for diagnosing chest pain in patients with nonobstructive coronary angiograms: Takotsubo or vasospasm?
نویسندگان
چکیده
The decreased 123I-BMIPP uptake, while having normal perfusion, in the correspondent coronary artery territory is caused by a delayed metabolic recovery after the recovery of perfusion. This phenomenon termed ischemic memory can clearly differentiate vasospastic angina from other chest pain syndromes.

Diagnostic utility of 123I-BMIPP imaging in patients with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
OBJECTIVE Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a cardiac syndrome with an acute onset defined by chest symptoms and ST segment elevation on electrocardiograms. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is sometimes misdiagnosed as acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Therefore a non-invasive diagnostic method is needed to be established for setting up appropriate strategies. The purpose of this study was to detect myocard...

A 45-year old man was admitted to our hospital with chest pain occurring suddenly upon exercise and disappearing with rest within several minutes. A continuous murmur was heard at the upper sternum border. Conventional electrocardiography showed no evidence of myocardial ischemia. Coronary angiography and cardiac catheterization demonstrated a fistula originating from the left coronary artery t...

To evaluate the clinical significance of reverse redistribution (RR) of resting 201Tl single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in patients with vasospastic angina (VSA), we performed left ventriculography, coronary angiography and resting 201Tl-SPECT in 22 patients with VSA. Left ventriculography showed abnormal wall motion in 17 of 22 patients (77%) and 37 of 154 segments. Thirty-one...

A 73-year-old man with aortic regurgitation was examined by 123I-alpha-methyl-p-iodophenylpentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) myocardial single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in 1995. Myocardial accumulation was not evident on either the early or the delayed image obtained 15 minutes and 3 hours, respectively, after injecting 123I-BMIPP. Flow cytometric analysis of CD36 expression in monocy...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the performance of beta-methyl-p-[123I]-iodophenyl-pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) to detect acute coronary syndromes (ACS) in emergency department patients with chest pain. BACKGROUND Emergency department diagnosis of chest pain is problematic, often requiring prolonged observation and stress testing...
