    Myocardial perfusion in patients with suspected coronary artery disease: comparison between 320-MDCT and rubidium-82 PET
    (2018) DANTAS JR., Roberto Nery; ASSUNCAO JR., Antonildes Nascimento; MARQUES FILHO, Ismar Aguiar; FAHEL, Mateus Guimaraes; NOMURA, Cesar Higa; AVILA, Luiz Francisco Rodrigues; GIORGI, Maria Clementina Pinto; SOARES JR., Jose; MENEGHETTI, Jose Claudio; PARGA, Jose Rodrigues
    Despite advances in non-invasive myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) evaluation, computed tomography (CT) multiphase MPI protocols have not yet been compared with the highly accurate rubidium-82 positron emission tomography ((RbPET)-Rb-82) MPI. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate agreement between (RbPET)-Rb-82 and 320-detector row CT (320-CT) MPI using a multiphase protocol in suspected CAD patients. Forty-four patients referred for MPI evaluation were prospectively enrolled and underwent dipyridamole stress (RbPET)-Rb-82 and multiphase 320-CT MPI (five consecutive volumetric acquisitions during stress). Statistical analyses were performed using the R software. There was high agreement for recognizing summed stress scores 4 (kappa 0.77, 95% CI 0.55-0.98, p < 0.001) and moderate for detecting SDS 2 (kappa 0.51, 95% CI 0.23-0.80, p < 0.001). In a per segment analysis, agreement was high for the presence of perfusion defects during stress and rest (kappa 0.75 and 0.82, respectively) and was moderate for impairment severity (kappa 0.58 and 0.65, respectively). The 320-CT protocol was safe, with low radiation burden (9.3 +/- 2.4 mSv). There was a significant agreement between dipyridamole stress 320-CT MPI and (RbPET)-Rb-82 MPI in the evaluation of suspected CAD patients of intermediate risk. The multiphase 320-CT MPI protocol was feasible, diagnostic and with relatively low radiation exposure. aEuro cent Rubidium-82 PET and 320-MDCT can perform MPI studies for CAD investigation. aEuro cent There is high agreement between rubidium-82 PET and 320-MDCT for MPI assessment. aEuro cent Multiphase CT perfusion protocols are feasible and with low radiation. aEuro cent Multiphase CT perfusion protocols can identify image artefacts.

    Decreased glycolytic metabolism in non-compaction cardiomyopathy by F-18-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography: new insights into pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical implications
    (2017) MELO, Marcelo Dantas Tavares de; GIORGI, Maria Clementina Pinto; ASSUNCAO JR., Antonildes Nascimento; DANTAS JR., Roberto Nery; ARAUJO FILHO, Jose de Arimateia; PARGA FILHO, Jose Rodrigues; BIERRENBACH, Ana Luiza de Souza; LIMA, Camila Rocon de; SOARES JR., Jose; MENEGUETTI, Jose Claudio; MADY, Charles; HAJJAR, Ludhmila Abrahao; KALIL FILHO, Roberto; BOCCHI, Edimar Alcides; SALEMI, Vera Maria Cury
    Aims The pathophysiological mechanisms of left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC) remain controversial. This study performed combined F-18-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose dynamic positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) and 99mTc-sestamibi single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) studies to evaluate myocardial glucose metabolism and perfusion in patients with LVNC and their clinical implications. Methods and results Thirty patients (41 +/- 12 years, 53% male) with LVNC, diagnosed by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) criteria, and eight age-matched healthy controls (42 +/- 12 years, 50% male) were prospectively recruited to undergo FDG-PET with measurement of the myocardial glucose uptake rate (MGU) and SPECT to investigate perfusion-metabolism patterns. Patients with LVNC had lower global MGU compared with that in controls (36.9 +/- 8.8 vs. 44.6 +/- 5.4 mu mol/min/100 g, respectively, P = 0.02). Of 17 LV segments, MGU levels were significantly reduced in 8, and also a reduction was observed when compacted segments from LVNC were compared with the segments from control subjects (P < 0.001). Perfusion defects were also found in 15 (50%) patients (45 LV segments: 64.4% match, and 35.6% mismatch perfusion-metabolism pattern). Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that beta-blocker therapy was associated with increased MGU (beta coefficient = 10.1, P = 0.008). Moreover, a gradual increase occurred in MGU across the beta-blocker dose groups (P for trend = 0.01). Conclusion The reduction of MGU documented by FDG-PET in LVNC supports the hypothesis that a cellular metabolic pathway may play a role in the pathophysiology of LVNC. The beneficial effect of beta-blocker mediating myocardial.

    Association between perivascular inflammation and downstream myocardial perfusion in patients with suspected coronary artery disease
    (2020) NOMURA, Cesar H.; ASSUNCAO-JR, Antonildes N.; GUIMARAES, Patricia O.; LIBERATO, Gabriela; MORAIS, Thamara C.; FAHEL, Mateus G.; GIORGI, Maria C. P.; MENEGHETTI, Jose C.; PARGA, Jose R.; DANTAS-JR, Roberto N.; CERRI, Giovanni G.
    Aims To investigate the association between pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) computed tomography (CT) attenuation derived from coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) and coronary flow reserve (CFR) by positron emission tomography (PET) in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods and results PCAT CT attenuation was measured in proximal segments of all major epicardial coronary vessels of 105 patients with suspected CAD. We evaluated the relationship between PCAT CT attenuation and other quantitative/qualitative CT-derived anatomic parameters with CFR by PET. Overall, the mean age was 60 +/- 12 years and 93% had intermediate pre-test probability of obstructive CAD. Obstructive CAD (>= 50% stenosis) was detected in 37 (35.2%) patients and impaired CFR (<2.0) in 32 (30.5%) patients. On a per-vessel analysis (315 vessels), obstructive CAD, non-calcified plaque volume, and PCAT CT attenuation were independently associated with CFR. In patients with coronary calcium score (CCS) <100, those with high-PCAT CT attenuation presented significantly lower CFR values than those with low-PCAT CT attenuation (2.47 +/- 0.95 vs. 3.13 +/- 0.89, P = 0.003). Among those without obstructive CAD, CFR was significantly lower in patients with high-PCAT CT attenuation (2.51 +/- 0.95 vs. 3.02 +/- 0.84, P = 0.021). Conclusion Coronary perivascular inflammation by CTA was independently associated with downstream myocardial perfusion by PET. In patients with low CCS or without obstructive CAD, CFR was lower in the presence of higher perivascular inflammation. PCAT CT attenuation might help identifying myocardial ischaemia particularly among patients who are traditionally considered non-high risk for future cardiovascular events.
