This study was designed to assess the impact of obesity and acquisition protocol on (123)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) indexes of cardiac sympathetic innervation.
Forty-five patients with heart failure (HF) (38 men, age 58±15 years) underwent (123)I-MIBG cardiac imaging. Of these patients, 10 were obese [body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m(2)]. Ten-minute planar images of the thorax in anterior view were performed 15 minutes ("early" image) and 3 hours and 50 minutes ("late" image) after tracer administration in both supine- and prone-position. Early and late (123)I-MIBG heart-to-mediastinum (H/M) ratios and washout rate were computed.
In overall study population, early and late (123)I-MIBG H/M ratios and washout rate were comparable between supine- and prone-position acquisitions. Obese patients had a lower early and late (123)I-MIBG H/M ratios both in supine (P<0.01) and prone (P<0.05) positions compared to non-obese subjects.
Our results indicate that in HF patients, obesity has a significant impact on (123)I-MIBG indexes of cardiac sympathetic innervation. Prone-position did not change early and late (123)I-MIBG H/M ratios and washout rate compared to supine position both in obese and non-obese HF patients.
本研究旨在评估肥胖及采集方案对心脏交感神经支配的碘-123间碘苄胍(MIBG)指标的影响。
45例心力衰竭(HF)患者(38例男性,年龄58±15岁)接受了碘-123 MIBG心脏成像检查。其中10例为肥胖患者[体重指数(BMI)≥30 kg/m²]。在注射示踪剂后15分钟(“早期”图像)、3小时50分钟(“晚期”图像)分别于仰卧位和俯卧位采集胸部前位10分钟平面图像。计算早期和晚期碘-123 MIBG心/纵隔(H/M)比值及洗脱率。
在整个研究人群中,仰卧位和俯卧位采集的早期和晚期碘-123 MIBG H/M比值及洗脱率相当。与非肥胖受试者相比,肥胖患者仰卧位(P<0.01)和俯卧位(P<0.05)的早期和晚期碘-123 MIBG H/M比值均较低。
我们的结果表明,在心力衰竭患者中,肥胖对心脏交感神经支配的碘-123 MIBG指标有显著影响。与仰卧位相比,俯卧位并未改变肥胖和非肥胖心力衰竭患者的早期和晚期碘-123 MIBG H/M比值及洗脱率。
