Abstract

This study sought to assess the diagnostic efficacy of adenosine technetium-99m sestamibi myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in a consecutive series of female patients. The utility of adenosine myocardial perfusion SPECT for the detection of coronary artery disease is not well defined in women because most studies have described a predominantly male population with a high prevalence of coronary artery disease. Of the 201 consecutive female patients in the study group who had undergone adenosine Tc-99m sestamibi myocardial perfusion SPECT, 130 had coronary angiography within 2 months of the nuclear test, and the other 71 had a low likelihood (<10%, mean [+/-SD] 5 +/- 3%) of coronary artery disease. The SPECT protocol used separate acquisition of rest thallium-201 and adenosine Tc-99m sestamibi and was visually analyzed in 20 segments with a semiquantitative five-point scoring system (0=normal; 4=absent uptake). The normalcy rate in patients with a low likelihood of coronary artery disease was 93% (66 of 71). Among the catheterized group, the overall sensitivity, specificity and predictive accuracy of adenosine sestamibi SPECT for detecting coronary artery disease (> or = to 50% diameter steno...Continue Reading
