Left ventricular ejection fraction and volumes on rest gated 201Tl perfusion SPECT: comparison with two-dimensional echocardiography

BACKGROUND: Rest gated 201Tl images are considered to be of poor count statistics due to lower energy and low photon flux of 201Tl in addition to increased attenuation and low dose that can be administered. We compared the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), end diastolic (EDV) and end systolic volume (ESV) obtained on 4 h gated rest 201Tl myocardial perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with those obtained by two-dimensional echocardiography (2-D ECHO) in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS: Eighty-two consecutive patients who underwent gated 201Tl stress-rest myocardial perfusion SPECT and 2-D ECHO were studied. The gated thallium images were processed with Siemens e-soft autocardiac processor and LVEF, EDV and ESV were evaluated using Emory Cardiac Toolbox. The same parameters were also assessed on the 2-D ECHO using the modified Simpson method for comparison. RESULTS: Out of 82 rest gated images, one study was excluded because of poor count statistics. In 81 (99%) patients there was good linear correlation with 2-D ECHO values and rest gated 201Tl SPECT images for EDV, ESV and LVEF. Pearson's correlation co-efficient (r value) for EDV, ESV and LVEF between the two methods was 0.78, 0.79 and 0.88, respectively. A Bland-Altman plot showed close agreement with LVEF but not for EDV and ESV. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the 4 h rest gated 201Tl study gives a reliable value for the LVEF compared to 2-D ECHO and can be used in routine clinical practice.     

Effect of reversible hypoperfusion on left ventricular volumes measured with gated SPECT at rest and after adenosine infusion

BACKGROUND: The aims of this study were to assess the degree of postischemic left ventricular (LV) dilatation after adenosine stress and to determine the extent to which LV volumes measured with gated single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) correspond to those obtained by echocardiography. METHODS: Eight-frame gated SPECT with a 2-day technetium-99m tetrofosmin acquisition protocol was used. End-diastolic (EDV) and end-systolic (ESV) volumes were measured automatically with the quantitative gated SPECT algorithm. Reversible myocardial hypoperfusion was evaluated with a 16-segment, 4-point perfusion score model. LV volumes at rest were also measured with echocardiography by use of the biplane Simpson rule. RESULTS: Twenty-two patients (group 1) showed normal perfusion and normal LV systolic function, whereas 33 patients (group 2) had evident coronary heart disease with reversible hypoperfusion. Patients in group 2 had greater EDV and ESV than those in group 1 both at rest and poststress. A greater reduction in ESV from poststress to rest was seen in group 2, which resulted in a slight increase in ejection fraction for patients in this group. The change in ESV from poststress to rest was significantly influenced by the degree of reversible hypoperfusion and by the change in heart rate from poststress to rest. We found a good correlation between LV volumes measured with gated SPECT and echocardiography. CONCLUSION: LV volume measurements with quantitative gated SPECT are comparable to those obtained with echocardiography. Patients with ischemic heart disease have greater LV volumes than patients with normal perfusion. Exercise-augmented adenosine infusion in patients with ischemic heart disease affects ESV more than EDV. This response is partly modulated by the degree of reversible hypoperfusion and possibly represents a minor degree of poststress stunning.     

Post-stress end-systolic left ventricular dilation: a marker of endocardial post-ischemic stunning

Several studies have shown the accuracy of gated single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) using thallium-201 and technetium tracers in the assessment of myocardial perfusion and function. Gated SPECT has been successfully utilized to detect post-stress left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) reduction resulting from post-ischemic stunning in patients with coronary obstruction. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the post-stress LVEF impairment could be related to the post-stress end-systolic ventricular dilation resulting from post-ischemic endocardial stunning. Two hundred and eighty-two consecutive patients were studied by conventional diagnostic 2 day stress/rest gated SPECT following injection of 925 MBq of 99mTc-tetrofosmin using a dual-headed SPECT camera. One hundred and forty-seven of these patients (52%) showed reversible perfusion defects, 69 (24%) permanent defects and the remaining 66 (24%) had normal perfusion. One hundred and thirty-eight of these patients had a history of myocardial infarction (MI) and 19% underwent coronary angiography without an intervening cardiac event. Perfusion was analysed on ungated images using 20 segments scored on a five-point scale (0, normal; 4, no uptake), while wall thickening (WT) was assessed visually on stress/rest end-systolic images using a four-point score (0, normal; 3, absence of WT). LVEF and volumes were calculated using an automatic algorithm. The post-stress and rest ratios were determined for both end-diastolic (EDV) and end-systolic (ESV) volume. Normal values for all these parameters were obtained using data from 149 patients with a low likelihood (<5%) of coronary artery disease (CAD). In 50 of the 147 (34%) of patients with reversible perfusion defects, post-stress LVEF was >5% lower than rest values (stunned group), while the remaining 97 patients did not show a significant LVEF change (group 2A). The percentage of patients who developed exercise-induced angina, the percentage of patients who underwent coronary angiography and the segmental summed perfusion and WT scores were significantly higher in the stunned group compared with group 2A. Only ESV increased significantly post-stress, and this increase occurred only in stunned patients. Both EDV and ESV ratios were significantly higher in the stunned group compared with normal controls (P=0.008 and P<0.000001, respectively) and with the subgroup 2A (P=0.011 and P<10(-12), respectively). The ESV stress/rest ratio correlated significantly with the summed WT difference score by univariate analysis in stunned patients. It can be concluded that the post-stress ESV dilation, obtained by stress/rest gated SPECT, seems to be due to endocardial post-ischemic stunning. The stunned patients showed more severe clinical, angiographic, perfusion and function parameters.     

Prognostic value of ECG-gated thallium-201 single-photon emission tomography in patients with coronary artery disease

BACKGROUND: The phenomenon of reversible impairment in LV function has been well described and is known as myocardial stunning. OBJECTIVE: Thallium-201 myocardial perfusion gated SPECT was used to evaluate myocardial stunning and its incremental prognostic value in patients with coronary artery disease. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Fifty-six patients (aged 63+/-11 years) with coronary artery disease were included in this study. All subjects underwent exercise thallium scintigraphy. ECG-gated SPECT was obtained both at post-stress (10 minutes after the injection of 111 MBq of thallium at the time of peak exercise) and at rest (180 minutes). The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and end-systolic and end-diastolic volume (ESV, EDV) were determined by a quantitative gated SPECT (QGS) program. RESULTS: Follow-up was complete in all patients (mean 569 days). The magnitude of the depression of post-stress LVEF relative to the rest LVEF was correlated with the severity of ischemia (p < 0.05). The group with a median LVEF of more than 45% had a significantly higher event-free rate (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Assessment of post-stress left ventricular function by gated-SPECT provides incremental prognostic information and is useful in predicting cardiac events in patients with suspected or definite coronary artery disease.     

Quantifying transient ischemic dilation using gated SPECT.

Transient ischemic dilation (TID) is both a sensitive and a specific indicator of triple-vessel coronary artery disease. This finding, obtained from ungated SPECT images, is the ratio of the average ventricular size after stress compared with rest. With gated SPECT, however, measurements of the end-diastolic volume (EDV) and end-systolic volume (ESV) can be obtained, and the relative contributions of each to the TID ratio may be estimated. The objective of this study was to quantify the relative contributions of the EDV and ESV when correlating an optimized stress-induced volume ratio (SIVR) with myocardial ischemia. METHODS: A retrospective review was made of 422 consecutive patients undergoing gated SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging. Semiquantitative summed stress and rest scores were determined using a 17-segment, 5-point model. The presence of myocardial ischemia was defined as a summed difference score of >or=3 (i.e., myocardial ischemia of >4%). Poststress-to-rest ratios of the EDV, ESV, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were correlated with myocardial ischemia. Using a brute force method, relative weights were assigned empirically to the EDV and ESV to calculate an optimized SIVR having the strongest correlation with myocardial ischemia. RESULTS: There was a significant correlation between the presence or absence of ischemia and the ESV ratio (P<0.01), the EDV ratio (P<0.01), and the LVEF ratio (P<0.05). When controlling for age, type of stress, and sex, the strongest correlation was with the ESV ratio. The SIVR most strongly correlated with myocardial ischemia was found to be the stress-to-rest ratio of the (ESVx5.0+EDV). This SIVR was more strongly correlated with myocardial ischemia than the stress-to-rest ESV ratio, EDV ratio, or LVEF ratio. CONCLUSION: Compared with either the ESV or the EDV stress-to-rest ratio alone, the combination of both results in a stronger correlation with myocardial ischemia. The contribution of the ESV was found to be 5 times greater than the contribution of the EDV when determining a SIVR most strongly correlated with stress-induced myocardial perfusion defects.     

Can the estimation of ejection fraction during gated single photon emission computed tomography at rest add information to the cardiac perfusion study?

Left ventricular function is an important prognostic indicator in patients with coronary artery disease. The electrocardiogram gated, myocardial, single photon emission tomography (SPECT) program is coming into wide use. This program permits measurement of end diastolic volume, end systolic volume, and ejection fraction. This study was designed to show whether the measurement of ejection fraction by using (99c)Tc tetrofosmin gated SPECT at rest could give additional information to the interpretation of perfusion. Exercise 99mTc tetrofosmin SPECT and gated (99c)Tc tetrofosmin SPECT at rest were performed in 33 patients with or suspected of having coronary artery disease. Left ventricular ejection fraction was calculated from reconstructed gated SPECT at rest with a software quantitative gated SPECT. The results showed a poor correlation between segmental ejection fraction and segmental perfusion in stress and rest. There was an increasing probability of reversibility as the ejection fraction increased, while there was a greater chance of a fixed defect as the ejection fraction decreased. It is concluded that gated SPECT using (99c)Tc tetrofosmin provides clinically satisfactory functional data that, in combination with the perfusion information, will improve diagnostic and prognostic accuracy without an increase in cost or radiation dose to patients.

Assessment of left ventricular function by gated myocardial perfusion and gated blood-pool SPECT: Can we use the same reference database?

The purpose of this study was to compare left ventricular (LV) volume and ejection fraction (LVEF) measurements obtained with electrocardiographic gated single-photon emission computed tomographic (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (GS-MPI) with those obtained with gated SPECT cardiac blood-pool imaging (GS-pool). Fifteen patients underwent GS-MPI with technetium-99m-tetrofosmin and GS-pool with technetium-99m-erythrocyte, within a mean interval of 8 +/- 3 days. Eight patients had suspected dilated cardiomyopathy and seven patients had angiographically significant coronary artery disease. End-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV) and LVEF measurements were estimated from GS-MPI images by means of Cedars-Sinai automatic quantitative program and from GS-pool images by the threshold technique. Mean differences between GS-MPI and GS-pool in EDV, ESV and LVEF measurements were -2.8 +/- 10.5 ml [95% confidence interval (CI): -8.6 +/- 3.0 ml], 2.6 +/- 7.3 ml (CI: -1.4 +/- 6.6 ml) and -2.3 +/- 5.1% (CI: -5.1 +/- 0.6%), respectively. No significant difference in the mean differences from 0 was found for EDV, ESV or LVEF measurements. Bland-Altman plots revealed no trend over the measured LV volumes and LVEF. For all parameters, regression lines approximated lines of identity. The excellent agreement between GS-MPI and GS-pool measurements suggests that, for estimation of LV volumes and LVEF, these two techniques may be used interchangeably and measurements by one method can serve as a reference for the other.
