Six-Month Follow-Up of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy with I-123-.BETA.-Metyl-Iodophenyl Pentadecanoic Acid and I-123-Meta-Iodobenzyl-Guanidine Myocardial Scintigraphy.

Abstract: A 69-year-old man with a history of transient chest pain was diagnosed takotsubo cardiomyopathy. In I-123-(3-metyliodophenyl pentadecanoic acid myocardial scintigraphy, decreased uptake of apex was seen in the acute phase, and it recovered in 3 months. In I-123-meta-iodobenzyl-guanidine myocardial scintigraphy, decreased uptake of apex persisted for 6 months, and there was a discrepancy between apical and total washout rate in the acute phase and after 3 months, which disappeared after 6 months. We speculate t… Show more

“…It may be explained by myocardial injury due to MPA, a myocardial perfusion defect (16), cardiac sympathetic hyperactivity (17,18), or an impaired myocardial fatty acid metabolism (19) in the apical myocardial wall. The pathological examinations of myocardial muscle and the scintigraphic studies of myocardial per- fusion, cardiac sympathetic activity, and fat metabolism will elucidate its cause in MPA or PN in the future.…”

“…The idea that TTP is related to a disturbance of cardiac sympathetic innervation is supported by scintigraphic findings. Perfusion defects in the anteroseptal wall are detected by thallium-201 ( 201 Tl) myocardial scintigraphy without technetium-99m pyrophosphate uptake in the matching area; extensive perfusion defects are also detected around the apex by 123 iodine metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy (42,44,46,47,55,(62)(63)(64). When assessed semiquantitatively, the metaiodobenzylguanidine images had higher defect scores than those with 201 Tl scintigraphy during the acute phase, as well as throughout the following year.…”

“…Respecto a una eventual persistencia de las alteraciones segmentarias, en relaciĂłn a disturbios de catecolaminas, existe evidencia de alteraciĂłn apical precoz y hasta 6 meses mediante imĂĄgenes con metayodobenzilguanidina marcada 19 . En pacientes con STT sometidos a estrĂ©s mental, al menos 1 mes post inicio del cuadro, se demostrĂł dilataciĂłn post-estrĂ©s y alteraciones de motilidad segmentaria transitoria en la mayorĂ­a de los casos con STT respecto a grupo control, sin alteraciones coronarias 20 .…”
