Body Mass Index Is Independently Associated with the Presence of Ischemia in Myocardial Perfusion Imaging

Abstract: Background and Objectives: Obesity has been linked to various cardiovascular risk factors, increased incidence of coronary artery disease, and myocardial perfusion defects. The aim of this study was to investigate if body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) were associated with myocardial perfusion defects. Materials and Methods: A total of 308 consecutive patients who had myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and a complete medical record on file … Show more

“…A summed stress score (SSS) of over 3 was considered myocardial ischemia [SSS corresponds to either stress-induced or resting perfusion defects (i.e., ischemia + infarct)]. Myocardial ischemia was mild for SSS 4 to 8, moderate for SSS 9 to 13, and high if SSS was above thirteen [31]. Summed rest score (SRS) corresponds to perfusion defects at rest indicating probable myocardial scar.…”

“…This is a clinical parameter that determines the nutritional status independent of BMI [5]. However, even if both BMI and WC are considered indices that provide independent information about the outcomes of patients, there are also limitations to their use, such as in patients with coronary artery disease [6]. The recommended indication suggests that the assessment of obesity should be performed on patients prior to revascularization interventions for a more accurate prognosis.…”
