Abstract
Myocardial SPECT using (99m)Tc-sestamibi, (99m)Tc-tetrofosmin, (201)Thallium is widely used in nuclear cardiology. Left ventricular systolic wall thickening (SWT) by SPECT and regional maximal elastance (rE(max)) using arterial tonometry were compared. rE(max) was calculated from time-pressure and time-volume curves. In normal heart, improvement of SWT was 4.1 +/- 11%, while 6.0 +/- 16% in dilated heart. Improvement of rE(max) was 0.67 +/- 1.0 mmHg/mL in normal heart and 0.32 +/- 0.7 mmHg/mL in dilated heart (p < 0.05). rE(max) can be an alternative variable as an index of regional contractility.
