Abstract
We sought to determine the relationship between (99m)Tc-sestamibi washout and myocardial properties in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients. Twenty-four HCM patients underwent biventricular cardiac catheterization, with a micromanometer-tipped catheter, both at rest and during atrial pacing, echocardiography and myocardial (99m)Tc-sestamibi scintigraphy at rest. The (99m)Tc-sestamibi washout rate (WR) was calculated using initial and delayed planar images. The HCM patients were divided into two groups as follows: Group A consisted of 13 patients showing (99m)Tc-sestamibi WR < 22.5%; group B of 11 patients showing (99m)Tc-sestamibi WR ≥ 22.5%. Significant correlations were observed between (99m)Tc-sestamibi WR and percentage changes in pressure half-time (T (1/2)), as well as those in the maximum first derivative LV pressure (LV dP/dt (max)) (r = .43, P = .033; r = -.63, P = .001). The percentage changes in LV dP/dt (max) and those in T (1/2) were significantly more reduced in group B than in group A (P < .05). The biphasic force-frequency relation was more frequently observed in group B than in group A (82% vs. 18%). Increased (99m)Tc-sestamibi washout is associated with an impaired contractile reserve and prolonged relax...Continue Reading
