MYOCARDIAL PERFUSION SCINTIGRAPHY
This test is designed to evaluate regional myocardial perfusion under rest and stress condition in order to define regional myocardial perfusion reserve.
![Page 5: Cardiac scanning](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5563cbf4d8b42a054f8b4f7a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
MYOCARDIAL PERFUSION SCINTIGRAPHY
It involves the injecton of a radiolabelled substance which is extracted by the myocardium and accumulates in proportion to myocardial blood flow.Such radipharmaceuticals are injected under stress as well as resting conditions, and images are obtained to define the regional distribution of radioactivity within the myocardium.
![Page 6: Cardiac scanning](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5563cbf4d8b42a054f8b4f7a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
MYOCARDIAL PERFUSION SCINTIGRAPHY
The main indication is the detection and localization
of myocardial ischaemia or scar.

MYOCARDIAL PERFUSION IMAGING
Clinical Indications
•Diagnosis of coronary artery disease - presence - location (coronary territory) -extent (number of vascular territories involved)•Determine prognosis•Determination of the significancof anatomic lesions detected by angiography.
•Monitoring treatment effect after coronary revascularization.
![Page 8: Cardiac scanning](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5563cbf4d8b42a054f8b4f7a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
MYOCARDIAL PERFUSION IMAGING
Determine prognosis risk stratification
*Patients with normal perfusion imaging after adequate stress have a very low cardiac event rate independently of the presence or absence of angiographic CAD (yearly rate of myocardial infarction or death of less than 1%).
*A benign prognosis is asociated with a small fixed defectand a normal global left ventricle function.
![Page 9: Cardiac scanning](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5563cbf4d8b42a054f8b4f7a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
MYOCARDIAL PERFUSION IMAGING
Determine prognosis risk stratification
* The risk of cardiac event can be suspected in all patients with the reversible perfusion defect.
* A higher risk can be expected in patients with a large perfusion defect, when more territories are affected, if the anterior wall is affected or if signs of postress dysfunction appear (transient ischemic dilation, deterioration of postress EF, increased uptake 201Tl in the lungs).

MYOCARDIAL PERFUSION SCINTIGRAPHY
Myocardial ischaemia is defined as a perfusion defect present during stress but not resting conditions.Scar tissue is associated with a relative perfusion defect at rest as well as under stress.

•99mTc-SESTAMIBI (MIBI, 2-methoxy-isobutyl-isonitril, Cardiolite, CardioSPECT…)• 99mTc-Tetrofosmin (Myoview)• 99mTc-Teboroxim (cardioTec)
201Thallium
![Page 12: Cardiac scanning](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5563cbf4d8b42a054f8b4f7a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
MYOCARDIAL PERFUSION SCINTIGRAPHY
99mTc-SESTAMIBI
•Is a lipophilic cationic Tc-99m complex - it enteres pasivelly into the cells and binds at the intracells membranes, especially of mitochondrials. - it does not wash out of the myocardium in 3-4 hours
Tc-99m-Labeled Myocardial Perfusion Agents
99mTc - gamma rays of energy 140 keV - half life T1/2 = 6 hours
![Page 13: Cardiac scanning](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5563cbf4d8b42a054f8b4f7a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
MYOCARDIAL PERFUSION SCINTIGRAPHY
201Thallium
- is an analog of potassium- it is actively transported into cardiac muscle via the sodium-potassium ATPase pump
- physical half-life is 73 h
- is a cyclotron-produced radiopharmaceutical
- emits x-rays of energy 69- to 83 keV - also emits gamma rays 167 kev 10%

Imaging protocol
• Single day protocol the patient receive a lower dose of radiopharmaceuticals
for the initial study (8-10 mCi ) and several fold higher dose (25-30 mCi )for the second study , which commences approximately 1.5 hour later to allow time for background activity ,biological clearance and decay.
• Tow day protocol The patient receive maximum dose (25-30mCi)for both
studies on separate days.Most commonly used on obese patients .

Exercise Stress
* is performed by cardiologist * graded stress is usually performed with bicycle ergometr * it is necessary to reach the gender and age predicted 85% maximal heart rate * suboptimal stress level reduce sensitivity of this procedure for detection of CAD * the radiopharmaceutical is injected 1-2 minut before end of exercise
![Page 16: Cardiac scanning](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5563cbf4d8b42a054f8b4f7a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Pharmacologic Stress
Patients who are unable to exercisefor non cardiac reasons - e.g.arthritis, amputation, neurologic diseases or cardiac reasons - with LBBBmay be stress pharmacologically .
![Page 18: Cardiac scanning](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5563cbf4d8b42a054f8b4f7a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Pharmacologic Stress
* vasodilators : adenosine dipyridamole* inotropic : dobutamine
![Page 19: Cardiac scanning](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5563cbf4d8b42a054f8b4f7a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Pharmacologic Stress using dipyridamole
* mechanism of action different from exercise* directly tests flow reserve* dipyridamol causes vasodilatation* normal vessel vasodilate, increasing flow five times* stenotic vessels are already maximally vasodilatated, cannot increase flow* results in heterogenity on scan * does not depend on induction of ischemia* Heart rate increases 13 beats per minute (20%)* Blood pressure decreases 6 mm Hg (2 ti 8%)* Contraindication: bronchial Asthma .
![Page 20: Cardiac scanning](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/5563cbf4d8b42a054f8b4f7a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Pharmacologic Stress produced by dobutamine
* similar to exercise* indirectly tests flow reserve* increases myocardial oxygen consumption1) chronotropic effects2) ionotropic effects

MYOCARDIAL PERFUSION IMAGING
INTERPRETATION CRITERIA
1. NORMAL FINDINGS
2. REVERSIBILE DEFECT - lesion is seen at stress and improves on the rest - is usually due to ischemia
3. NONREVERSIBILE DEFECT - lesion at rest is usually associated with myocardial scar or with severe ischemia.

MYOCARDIAL VIABILITY
detection of myocardial viability has clinical importance for
- patients with chronic ischaemic left ventricular dysfunction and low left ventricle ejection fraction it is necessary to know, if defect of myocardial perfusion is
- ischemia vs. scar - predict improvement in function following revascularization

REQUIREMENTS FOR CELLULAR VIABILITY
-adequate myocardial blood flow-sarcolemmal metabolic integrity-preserved metabolic activity

MYOCARDIAL VIABILITY
The gold standard method
evaluation of myocardial glucose utilisation with fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)and positron emission tomography (PET)

MYOCARDIAL VIABILITY
Principle Under fasting conditions the normal myocardium primarily utilises free fatty acids. In ischaemic myocardium glucose becomes an important energy substrate, FDG uptake will be enhanced.
