To evaluate diagnostic accuracy of adenosine two-dimensional and three-dimensional myocardial contrast echocardiography (2D- and 3D-MCE) compared with single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) for assessing myocardial perfusion.
From January through August 2007, patients with known or suspected CAD who were referred for SPECT underwent simultaneous adenosine 2D-MCE and 3D-MCE (live and full volume [FV]). Perfusion and wall motion in 17 segments in the left anterior descending, left circumflex, and right coronary artery territories were analyzed.
We studied 30 patients: mean (SD) age, 72.6 (8.2) years; 19 (63%) men. Perfusion by SPECT was abnormal in 13 patients (43%). When comparing MCE with SPECT, sensitivity was comparable for 2D-MCE, 92%; live 3D-MCE, 91%; and FV 3D-MCE, 90%. Specificity was comparable for 2D-MCE, 75%; live 3D-MCE, 69%; and FV 3D-MCE, 79%. Agreement between live 3D-MCE and 2D-MCE was 92% (kappa[SE], 0.83 [0.17]) and between FV 3D-MCE and 2D-MCE, 88% (kappa[SE], 0.76 [0.13]). For eight patients in whom SPECT showed reversible defects, live 3D-MCE correctly identified defects in seven (88%), whereas FV 3D-MCE correctly identified them in five (63%) (P = 0.57).
Myocardial perfusion assessment is feasible by 3D-MCE with the advantage of rapid, facile acquisition and offline image manipulation.
评估腺苷二维和三维心肌对比超声心动图(2D - MCE和3D - MCE)与单光子发射计算机断层扫描(SPECT)在评估心肌灌注方面的诊断准确性。
2007年1月至8月,因已知或疑似冠心病而接受SPECT检查的患者同时接受腺苷2D - MCE和3D - MCE(实时和全容积[FV])检查。分析左前降支、左旋支和右冠状动脉供血区域17个节段的灌注和壁运动情况。
我们研究了30例患者,平均(标准差)年龄72.6(8.2)岁,男性19例(63%)。SPECT显示13例患者(43%)灌注异常。将MCE与SPECT比较时,2D - MCE的敏感性为92%,实时3D - MCE为91%,FV 3D - MCE为90%,三者相当。2D - MCE的特异性为75%,实时3D - MCE为69%,FV 3D - MCE为79%,三者相当。实时3D - MCE与2D - MCE之间的一致性为92%(kappa[标准误],0.83[0.17]),FV 3D - MCE与2D - MCE之间为88%(kappa[标准误],0.76[0.13])。对于SPECT显示可逆性缺损的8例患者,实时3D - MCE正确识别出7例(88%),而FV 3D - MCE正确识别出5例(63%)(P = 0.57)。
3D - MCE评估心肌灌注是可行的,具有快速、便捷采集和离线图像处理的优势。
