SPECT MPI: SPECT MPI including dynamic acquisitions for stress, rest MBF and MFR

Study summary

Anginal symptoms and signs of ischemia have been reported in some patients with cardiac amyloidosis (TTR) without obstructive epicardial coronary artery disease (CAD).

It was found that coronary microvascular dysfunction was highly prevalent in subjects with cardiac amyloidosis, even in the absence of epicardial CAD. The investigators found lower stress and rest myocardial blood flow (MBF) and lower myocardial flow reserve (MFR) in their cardiac PET (Positron emission tomography) study (13N), including 21 patients.

The advances in SPECT technology including cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) detectors allow to evaluate the MBF and MFR estimation by SPECT as shown in both experimental animal models and also in clinical studies with comparison to PET.

SPECT is more widely available than cardiac PET.
