RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Placing the left ventricular (LV) lead in a viable segment with the latest mechanical activation (vSOLA) may be associated with optimal cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) response. We assessed the role of gated SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (gSPECT MPI) in predicting clinical outcomes at 6 months in patients submitted to CRT. METHODS: Ten centers from 8 countries enrolled 195 consecutive patients. All underwent gSPECT MPI before and 6 months after CRT. The procedure was performed as per current guidelines, the operators being unaware of gSPECT MPI results. Regional LV dyssynchrony (Phase SD) and vSOLA were automatically determined using a 17 segment model. The lead was considered on-target if placed in vSOLA. The primary outcome was improvement in ≥1 of the following: ≥1 NYHA class, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) by ≥5%, reduction in end-systolic volume by ≥15%, and ≥5 points in Minnesota Living With Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ). RESULTS: Sixteen patients died before the follow-up gSPECT MPI. The primary outcome occurred in 152 out of 179 (84.9%) cases. Mean change in LV phase standard deviation (PSD) at 6 months was 10.5°. Baseline dyssynchrony was not associated with the primary outcome. However, change in LV PSD from baseline was associated with the primary outcome (OR 1.04, 95% CI 1.01-1.07, P = .007). Change in LV PSD had an AUC of 0.78 (0.66-0.90) for the primary outcome. Improvement in LV PSD of 4° resulted in the highest positive likelihood ratio of 7.4 for a favorable outcome. In 23% of the patients, the CRT lead was placed in the vSOLA, and in 42% in either this segment or in a segment within 10° of it. On-target lead placement was not significantly associated with the primary outcome (OR 1.53, 95% CI 0.71-3.28). CONCLUSION: LV dyssynchrony improvement by gSPECT MPI, but not on-target lead placement, predicts clinical outcomes in patients undergoing CRT.

RESUMO

The 143 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) of the world constitute 80% of the world's population or roughly 5.86 billion people with much variation in geography, culture, literacy, financial resources, access to health care, insurance penetration, and healthcare regulation. Unfortunately, their burden of cardiovascular disease in general and acute ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in particular is increasing at an unprecedented rate. Compounding the problem, outcomes remain suboptimal because of a lack of awareness and a severe paucity of resources. Guideline-based treatment has dramatically improved the outcomes of STEMI in high-income countries. However, no such focused recommendations exist for LMICs, and the unique challenges in LMICs make directly implementing Western guidelines unfeasible. Thus, structured solutions tailored to their individual, local needs, and resources are a vital need. With this in mind, a multicountry collaboration of investigators interested in LMIC STEMI care have tried to create a consensus document that extracts transferable elements from Western guidelines and couples them with local realities gathered from expert experience. It outlines general operating principles for LMICs focused best practices and is intended to create the broad outlines of implementable, resource-appropriate paradigms for management of STEMI in LMICs. Although this document is focused primarily on governments and organizations involved with improvement in STEMI care in LMICs, it also provides some specific targeted information for the frontline clinicians to allow standardized care pathways and improved outcomes.

RESUMO

Early-career academic cardiologists, who many believe are an important component of the future of cardiovascular care, face myriad challenges. The Early Career Section Academic Working Group of the American College of Cardiology, with senior leadership support, assessed the progress of this cohort from 2013 to 2016 with a global perspective. Data consisted of accessing National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute public information, data from the American Heart Association and international organizations, and a membership-wide survey. Although the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute increased funding of career development grants, only a small number of early-career American College of Cardiology members have benefited as funding of the entire cohort has decreased. Personal motivation, institutional support, and collaborators continued to be positive influential factors. Surprisingly, mentoring ceased to correlate positively with obtaining external grants. The totality of findings suggests that the status of early-career academic cardiologists remains challenging; therefore, the authors recommend a set of attainable solutions.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Dyslipidemias constitute an independent risk factor for the development of atherogenesis and they also predispose to the development of endothelial dysfunction (ED). Using PET with (13)N-ammonia, it is possible to quantify myocardial blood flow (MBF) in mL/min/g and to quantitatively evaluate ED. With the use of lipid lowering therapy it is possible to reduce ED and increase the MBF and the endothelial-dependent vasodilation index (ENDEVI). In this study, we aimed to evaluate with (13)N-ammonia PET the benefic effects of the combined treatment ezetimibe/simvastatine on the endothelial function of dyslipidemic patients after 8 weeks of treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Fourteen consecutive patients with dyslipidemia diagnosis and 17 healthy volunteers were studied with a three phase [rest, Cold Pressor Test (CPT), and adenosine-induced hyperemia] (13)N-ammonia PET for MBF quantification assessment. A second PET study was performed in the dyslipidemic group after 8 weeks of treatment with ezetimibe/simvastatine (10/40 mg). Myocardial flow reserve (MFR), ENDEVI, and %ΔMBF were calculated. RESULTS: Total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides concentrations were markedly altered in the dyslipidemic group and after 8 weeks of treatment these values improved. Dyslipidemic patients showed endothelial dysfunction when compared with the control group, (MFR 2.79 ± 0.94 vs 3.15 ± 0.48, P < 0.05 ; ENDEVI 1.28 ± 0.25 vs 1.53 ± 0.24, P < 0.05; and %ΔMBF 29.08 ± 24.62 vs 53 ± 24.60%, P < 0.05, respectively). After 8 weeks of treatment, we found a significant increase in all the endothelial function markers (MFR: 3.14 ± 0.86, P < 0.05, ENDEVI 1.65 ± 0.23, P < 0.05; %ΔMBF: 65.21 ± 23.43, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Dyslipidemic patients show endothelial dysfunction measured with (13)N-ammonia PET. Treatment with ezetimibe/simvastatine was effective improving the lipid profile as well as the endothelial function of these patients. PET may be a useful tool to monitor vascular reactivity and regression/progression of coronary atherosclerosis after pharmacologic interventions.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: In patients with myocardial infarction and left ventricular dysfunction, the evidence of myocardial viability is primordial. There are some methods to detect the presence of myocardial viability, 201 thallium reinjection SPECT protocol represents the most common radioisotopic technique to evaluate it. Positron emission tomography (PET) using FDG is considered the gold standard. The aim of this study was to compare globally and by segments the value of both techniques in the detection of viable myocardium. METHODS: Twenty-three consecutive patients with previous myocardial infarction and left ventricular dysfunction were studied. All of them underwent into a SPECT perfusion scan and a FDG PET study to asses myocardial viability. Each study was performed in less than one week between the other. For the analysis, the myocardium was divided into 17 segments. A visual semi-quantitative analysis was carried out according to the following score indicating radiotracer uptake: O = normal to 4 = absent. Myocardial viability was defined as the presence of normal, mildly or moderately reduced radiotracer uptake. The scores obtained by PET were compared to those obtained in SPECT. A statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS v. 10. RESULTS: 391 segments were analyzed. PET detected viability in 130 segments that had been defined as non-viable by SPECT. No differences in the analysis by vascular territories were found. Thirty percent of the segments that were defined as non viable by SPECT were viable by PET, meanwhile only 1% of the segments detected viable by SPECT were considered non viable with PET. CONCLUSIONS: FDG PET study represents a better technique to detect myocardial viability, compared to thallium reinjection SPECT protocol. By this study we have demonstrated that more of 3 of each 10 studies may be diagnosed as non viable where viability is present.

RESUMO

UNLABELLED: Coronary artery disease (CAD) represents the principal cause of morbidity and mortality in our environment. Positron emission tomography (PET) is a new technique in our country that allows the assessment of myocardial perfusion and the absolute quantification of the coronary blood flow (CBF) through the utilization of radiotracers using the same criteria employed in conventional nuclear cardiology. CBF normal values have been determined in other populations around the world. No studies in our country assessing in a non-invasive way the CBF have been published before. The quantification of CBF in healthy population is important to establish a standard measure and determine through it, the effects of the many diseases that change the coronary blood flow. The quantification of the CBF, the calculation of coronary blood flow reserve (CFR) and the endothelium dependent vasodilatation index (EDVI) through PET is possible performing three different acquisition stages: rest, cold pressor test (CPT) and pharmacologic stress using Ammonia as radiotracer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the CBF, the CFR and the EDVI in healthy Mexican volunteers. RESULTS: Global basal CBF was 0.34 (+/- 0.09) mL/g/min, during CPT increased to 0.55 (+/- 0.17) mL/g/min and during the stress increased to 1.18 (+/- 0.25). CFR was 3.5 (+/- 0.65) and EDVI was 1.55 (+/- 0.33). CONCLUSIONS: CFR and EDVI values obtained in Mexican healthy population correlates very well with those reported in the literature. This values represents a reference to further research that use this technology.

RESUMO

La enfermedad arterial coronaria (EAC) representa la primera causa de morbi mortalidad en nuestro medio. La tomografía por emisión de positrones (PET) es una técnica novedosa en nuestro país mediante la cual es posible valorar la perfusión miocárdica a través de radiotrazadores, lo que permite detectar defectos de perfusión utilizando los mismos criterios que en cardiología nuclear. A su vez, a través del estudio del flujo coronario (FC) es posible detectar la EAC en sus etapas más tempranas. El FC ha sido determinado en otras poblaciones a nivel mundial, sin embargo, hasta el momento no existen estudios en nuestro país que lo hayan valorado de manera no invasiva. La importancia de determinar el FC en voluntarios sanos radica en establecer una base para poder comparar estos resultados con los encontrados en pacientes con diferente patología que afecte el flujo coronario. Para la determinación del FC y la reserva de flujo coronario (RFC) y del índice de vasodilatación dependiente de endotelio (IVED) mediante PET se realizan 3 mediciones en 3 fases distintas: reposo, estimulación con frío (CPT) y esfuerzo farmacológico, con la utilización de amonio. Objetivo: Determinar el FC en las tres fases en población sana con la utilización de amonio-PET. Resultados: El FC global basal fue de 0.34 (±0.09) mL/g/min, durante el CPT incrementó a 0.55 (±0.17) mL/g/min y con el estrés llegó a 1.18 (±0.25). La RFC fue de 3.5 (±0.65) y el IVED de 1.55 (±0.33). Conclusiones: Los valores obtenidos de RFC y de IVED en población mexicana sana coincide con los reportados en la literatura. Estos valores representan una base de referencia para las investigaciones futuras con esta tecnología en nuestro país.

RESUMO

Under normal conditions, myocardial metabolism is based on the oxidation of fatty acids and in a lesser extent carbohydrates. Cardiac function depends upon an adequate supplement of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by these substrates. However, the main source of energy is susceptible to change upon a various physiologic (exercise) as well as pathologic (ischemia-reperfusion) conditions. Recently, carnitine has gained attention as a modulator of fatty acids and carbohydrates metabolism by means of modifying intramitochondrial Acetyl-CoA/CoA ratio. Disturbances in fatty acids and carbohydrates metabolism in the myocardium have been associated with cardiovascular diseases (chronic ischemic disease, ventricular hypertrophy and dilated cardiomyopathy). The evaluation of cardiac metabolism attains great value regarding diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of these diseases. Currently, positron emission tomography (PET) is one of the preferred methods to evaluate cardiac energy metabolism in clinical practice. In PET images the tracers most commonly used are 11C-palmitate, 11C-acetate y 18Fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG), the first two are employed to assess fatty acids oxidation and FDG is used to evaluate carbohydrates metabolism.

RESUMO

En condiciones normales el metabolismo energético del corazón se basa en la oxidación de ácidos grasos y en menor proporción de carbohidratos. La función cardiaca depende del suplemento adecuado de trifosfato de adenosina (ATP) proveniente de dichos sustratos. Sin embargo, la fuente principal de energía está sujeta a modificación porfactorestanto fisiológicos (ejercicio) como patológicos (isquemia-reperfusión). Recientemente, se ha puesto gran atención al papel de la carnitina como regulador del metabolismo de ácidos grasos y carbohidratos mediante la modulación de la relación intramitocondrial de acetil-CoA/CoA. Las alteraciones en el metabolismo de carbohidratos y ácidos grasos a nivel miocárdico se han asociado al desarrollo de diversas patologías cardiovasculares (cardiopatía isquémica, hipertrofia ventricular, y miocardiopatía dilatada) por lo cual el estudio del metabolismo cardiaco cobra gran relevancia para el diagnóstico, y pronóstico de estas patologías. Dentro de la práctica clínica, la tomografía por emisión de positrones (PET) es una de las técnicas más empleadas para la evaluación del metabolismo cardiaco. Los radiotrazadores más ampliamente empleados en imagen PET son "C-palmitato, "C-acetato y 18Fluoro-2-desoxiglucosa (FDG), los dos primeros se emplean para el estudio del metabolismo oxidativo de los ácidos grasos y la FDG nos permite estudiar el metabolismo de carbohidratos.

RESUMO

El Gated SPECT constituye un método útil en la evaluación simultánea de la perfusión y movilidad miocárdica. No existe reporte acerca de la experiencia en Latinoamérica con el uso de este protocolo, adquirido con técnica de Gated SPECT. Se investiga la utilidad de este protocolo SPECT sincronizado, utilizando el método Dual Talio-201 reposo/Tc-99m Tetrofosmin esfuerzo, en la evaluación simultánea de la perfusión y movimiento. Se estudiaron 27 pacientes con enfermedad coronaria y con coronariografía. Se utilizaron 3mCi de Talio-201 en reposo y 15 mCi de Tc-99m Tetrofosmin en esfuerzo, adquiriéndose imágenes tomográficas sincronizadas con el electrocardiograma. Para la validación de los hallazgos de perfusión y movimiento se administró 3 a 5 días después una inyección de Tc-99m Sestamibi (20 mCi) en esfuerzo, comparándose los resultados con los del Tetrofosmin. Se dividió miocardio ventricular en 20 segmentos. Para la evaluación de la movilidad parietal, se dividió el miocardio en 29 segmentos, calificándose con una escala de 4 puntos (3= movilidad normal, 2=hipocinesia ligera, 1 =hipocinesia importante y 0=acinesia). La concordancia entre los hallazgos de perfusión y movimiento con el uso de Sestamibi y Tetrofosmin fueron de 97 por ciento y 84 por ciento, respectivamente. El protocolo Dual con la administración de Talio-201 en reposo/Tc-99m Tetrofosmin en esfuerzo, con técnica SPECT Sincronizado, constituye un método útil para la evaluación simultánea de la perfusión miocárdica y la movilidad segmentaria. Existe una buena correlación con el uso del protocolo Dual Talio-201 reposo/Tc99m Sestamibi esfuerzo.

RESUMO

La tomografía computada por emisión de fotón simple (SPECT) con MIBI en reposo/esfuerzo, tiene una sensibilidad y especificidad similar a la del SPECT de TL 201 para la detección de enfermedad de arterias coronarias. Sin embargo, El MIBI no es un agente ideal para estudiar la viabilidad miocárdica. No existe ningún artículo publicado en América Latina usando el protocolo de SPECT con dos isótopos para evaluar la perfusión y la viabilidad miocárdica. Estudiamos 44 pacientes consecutivos con enfermedad de arterias coronarias, 37 de ellos con infarto previo. A todos los pacientes se les hizo coronariografía previa, se inyectó una dosis de 3 mCi de TL 201 en reposo y, después, 25 mCi de MIBI durante el esfuerzo y se adquirió el estudio con técnicas SPECT. La imagen de esfuerzo se adquirió 30 minutos después del ejercicio físico o una hora después de la estimulación farmacológica con dipiridamol. Para validar los hallazgos de la perfusión, los pacientes regresaron al siguiente día para una inyección de 7 mCi de MIBI en reposo. Las imágenes obtenidas fueron evaluadas por dos observadores dividiendo el corazón en 20 segmentos para su análisis y para cada segmento se usó una escala de 5 puntos: 0= normal a 4= ausencia de captación. La concordancia de la puntuación de los segmentos entre el T1 201 y el MIBI en reposo y la comparación del porcentaje de los defectos reversibles y no reversibles entre ambos protocolos fue del 90.7 por ciento. Conclusiones: El estudio con dos isótopos en un método seguro para la evaluación de la enfermedad arterial coronaria. Mostró una buena concordancia con el protocolo de MIBI en reposo/esfuerzo, tanto para la valoración de los defectos de perfusión en reposo como de la reversibilidad y fue un método superior para evaluar la viabilidad miocárdica
