OBJECTIVE
To assess the clinical significance of iodine-123 beta-methyl-p-iodophenyl-pentadecanoic acid(BMIPP) single photon emission computed tomography(SPECT), the predictive value of BMIPP imaging in patients with angina pectoris was evaluated.
METHODS
One hundred seventy-four patients who
OBJECTIVE
This study evaluated the sensitivity and the related factors in iodine-123-beta-methyl-p-iodophenyl-pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) scintigraphy to detect stable angina.
METHODS
The subjects were 198 patients with stable angina who underwent BMIPP before percutaneous coronary intervention or
A fatty acid analogue, 123I-labelled beta-methyl iodophenyl pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP), has been used to identify ischaemic and metabolically impaired myocardium. However, the prognostic value of BMIPP imaging, particularly in relation to stress myocardial perfusion imaging, remains unclear. Data
The time course of improvement in fatty acid metabolism after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) was investigated using echocardiography and fatty acid metabolic imaging with iodine-123-betamethyl-p-iodophenyl-pentadecanoic acid (123I-BMIPP) before, 1 week and 3 months after PTCA
The purpose of this study is to clarify whether dynamic SPECT (DECT) immediately after the injection of 123I-15-(p-iodophenyl)-3-methyl pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) may represent myocardial perfusion imaging. Ten patients with unstable angina pectoris (UAP), 11 patients with acute myocardial
The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of resting myocardial fatty acid metabolic imaging with 123I-beta-methyliodophenyl-pentadecanoic acid (123I-BMIPP) for the detection of patients with stable effort angina pectoris and to clarify the clinical significance of abnormal 123I-BMIPP
A patient with variant angina showed similar findings on both the rest and matched exercise 201Thallium (201Tl) myocardial perfusion scintigrams. The 65-year old man was admitted to hospital because of rest angina. His electrocardiogram during the attack disclosed ST segment elevation on inferior
There are many new nuclear methods in diagnosing cardiovascular disease. We present about 2 nuclear diagnosing methods. One is about 123I-BMIPP and the other 123I-MIBG. 123I-beta-methyl iodophenyl pentadecanoic acid(123I-BMIPP) is the tracer to evaluate the metabolism of a fatty acid of the heart. A
We evaluated the clinical significance of myocardial imaging using 123I-15-(p-iodophenyl)-3-methyl pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) scintigraphy in patients with stable effort angina pectoris (SAP) and unstable angina pectoris (UAP). Thirty-three patients with SAP were studied using rest BMIPP and stress
Impaired cardiac fatty acid uptake, assessed by the radiolabelled fatty acid analogue beta-methyl-p-iodophenyl pentadecanoic acid (I-123-BMIPP), is observed in the myocardium following acute ischaemic events, but the long-term prognostic implication has not been established. This study aimed to
The purpose of this study was to clarify the possibility of simultaneous evaluation of myocardial perfusion and fatty acid metabolism using a single injection of 123I-beta-methyl-p-iodophenyl-pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) in patients with acute coronary syndromes.
METHODS
Thirty patients with unstable
