Abstract
  • The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of Tc-99m-sestamibi cardiac imaging and dobutamine echocardiography in detecting myocardial viability early after acute myocardial infarction. Methods: Forty-nine patients (mean age 52 +/- 10 y) underwent coronary angiography, low-dose dobutamine echocardiography, radionuclide angiography and rest Tc-99m-sestamibi imaging within 10 d after myocardial infarction. Of these patients, 19 were revascularized and 30 were treated medically. Resting echocardiogram and radionuclide angiography were repeated 8 mo later to evaluate segmental functional recovery and changes in left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction, respectively. Results: In revascularized patients, 61 of 108 akinetic or dyskinetic segments showed functional recovery. In these patients, sensitivity in predicting segmental functional recovery was 87% for sestamibi imaging and 66% for dobutamine echocardiography (P < 0.001), whereas specificity and accuracy were comparable. Sestamibi activity (greater than or equal to 55% of peak) was the strongest predictor of segmental functional recovery (P < 0.001) and of LV ejection fraction improvement greater than or equal to 5% (P < 0.01) after revascularization. In medically treated patients, 60 of 149 akinetic or dyskinetic segments showed functional recovery. In these patients, the majority (94%) of segments with contractile reserve on dobutamine were viable on sestamibi imaging and 86% of them improved function at follow-up. Functional recovery was poor in segments without contractile reserve either with (38%) or without (62%) preserved sestamibi uptake. Inotropic response was the best predictor of segmental (P < 0.001) and global (P < 0.01) LV functional improvement in medically treated patients. Conclusion: Dobutamine echocardiography predicts spontaneous functional recovery after acute myocardial infarction. However, sestamibi imaging is useful to identify patients with dysfunctional myocardium without contractile reserve who may benefit from coronary revascularization. (literal)
