Abstract

There is speculation that coronary angiography may be overused for the assessment of coronary artery disease. Because of its proved ability to differentiate high- and low-risk subsets of patients with coronary artery disease, myocardial perfusion scintigraphy should be an effective strategy in patient selection for angiography. This retrospective clinical study analyzed the relation between scintigraphic findings and subsequent angiography. Coronary angiographic rates were determined by following up on all stress single-photon emission computed tomographic (SPECT) myocardial perfusion studies performed in a cardiology practice nuclear laboratory during a 26-month interval. All patients were followed up for at least 3 months; mean follow-up was 8.9 months. Subsequent angiography was determined from catheterization laboratory logs, medical records, and telephone contact. Scintigraphic studies were graded according to presence or absence of reversible perfusion defects, affected coronary territories, and lung uptake of 201Tl. Scans were categorized high risk if more than two of the following three criteria were met: reversibility of left anterior descending or multivessel distributions or abnormal lung uptake of thallium. Of 4162 ...Continue Reading

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
