To investigate the value of assessing viable myocardium by wall thickening(WT)coming from 99mTC-MIBI ECG-gated myocardial perfusion imaging(G-MPI)in myocardial infarction
twenty-six patients with myocardial infarction underwent rest 99mTc-MIBI G-MPI
EKG
18F-FDG myocardial metabolic imaging and CAG within two weeks.For determining viable myocardium
the segments of myocardium with abnormal MIBI uptake and normal wall thickening(WT)were 68.2% of ischemic viable myocardium demonstrated by 99mTc-MIBI/18F-FDG dual isotope tomography.The segments of myocardium with abnormal MIBI uptake and abnormal WT were 96.8% of infarct myocardium demonstrated by dual isotope tomography.Use of wall thickening coming from 99mTc-MIBI G-MPI may help to select more viable myocardium as compared with conventional myocardial perfusion imaging.
