Abstract:
Objective To investigate clinical significance of the 99Tcm-bis(N-ethoxy-N-ethyl-dithiocarbamato)nitridotechnetium(99Tcm-N-NOET)exercise and delayed myocardial perfusion imaging(MPI)in hypertensive patients.
Methods Sixty patients with hypertension and 19 normal subjects were carried out 99Tcm-N-NOET exercise and delayed MPI, and analyzed the results of MPI, exercise electrocardiography(ECG), cardiac function parameters end-diastolic volume(EDV), end-systolic volume(ESV), left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF), △LVEF(LVEF exercis-LVEF delay)and coronary angiography(CAG).
Results ① Sixty patients with hypertension, 22 cases(36.7%)of exercise ECG were abnormal, 16 cases(26.7%)were the chest tightness in exercise, 13 cases(21.7%)were blood pressure excessive reaction in exercise; control group, 2 cases(10.5%)of exercise ECG were abnormal, 1 case(5.3%, 1/19)was chest tightness in exercise, no per-son was blood pressure response in excessive.②The positive rate of myocardial perfusion in hyper-tensive group was significantly higher than the control group(31.75%vs.5.30%, P < 0.05).③Cardial function parameters in hypertension groupexercise EDV=(79.75±29.10)ml, ESV=(28.82±15.73)ml, LVEF=(65.78± 1.27)%; delay EDV=(81.42±3.47)ml, ESV=(30.62±2.05)ml, LVEF=(64.20±9.70)%and control groupexercise EDV=(79.63±21.65)ml, ESV=(27.37±10.71)ml, LVEF=(66.42±1.55)%; delay EDV=(82.89±4.96)ml, ESV=(31.42±3.06)ml, LVEF=(63.16±7.54)%were no statistical difference(exercise EDV: t=0.161, ESV: t= 0.112, LVEF: t=0.261; delay EDV: t=0.276, ESV: t=0.197, LVEF: t=0.184, P > 0.05), △LVEF < 0%, 28 cases (46.7%)in hypertension group, 4 cases(21.1%)in control group, χ2=3.929, P < 0.05; 11 cases(57.9%)in MPI positive group, 12 cases(29.3%)in MPI negative group, χ2=4.501, P < 0.05.④Nineteen patients with hypertension underwent CAG, 11 cases were abnormal, 8 cases were normal.MPI results: 9 cases were ischemia, 10 cases were normal, and they were no statistical difference(χ2=0.25, P > 0.05).The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 99Tcm-N-NOET MPI were 72.7%, 87.5%and 78.9%.
Conclusions ① 99Tcm-NNOET exercise and delayed MPI can diagnose whether hypertension patients with myocardial ischemia or not.②△LVEF of hypertensive patients reduced, △LVEF is lower in hypertensive patients of MPI-positive.
