title: [The regional wall motion and the myocardial fatty acid metabolism at hibernating myocardium].
abstract: To evaluate the regional wall motion and the myocardial fatty acid metabolism at hibernating myocardium after revascularization (PTCA or CABG), we performed dual SPECT with 201Tl and 123I-beta-methyliodophenyl-pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP), and left ventriculography (LVG) in 34 patients with coronary artery disease before and 3 to 4 months after revascularization. In the SPECT, regional tracer uptake was estimated qualitatively (visual) and quantitatively (% uptake). Regional wall motion was estimated qualitatively (visual) and quantitatively (shortening fraction). At the 78 hibernating areas, the improvement of regional wall motion was more significantly (p < 0.05) correlated with that of regional tracer uptake of 123I-BMIPP (r = 0.63) than 201Tl (r = 0.39), and also correlated with the improvement of the difference between 201Tl and 123I-BMIPP regional uptake (r = 0.36). These results suggest that the improvement of wall motion at hibernating myocardium is more significantly correlated with the improvement of 123I-BMIPP than 201Tl uptake after revascularization.
