2008, Metabolism: Clinical and ExperimentalCitation Excerpt :Second, MPI has been reported to be limited in its ability in women, as it has been found to produce false-positive results due to breast attenuation and small left ventricular chamber size [40]. Despite this limitation, many studies have reported women with an abnormal MPI finding to be at significantly increased risk for cardiac events [41-47]. Berman et al [41] found that the greater the abnormality of the MPI is, the greater is the risk of cardiac death in men and women, with diabetic women appearing to be at greater risk of cardiac death than diabetic men for any MPI result.
The Prognostic Value of Normal Exercise Myocardial Perfusion Imaging and Exercise Echocardiography. A Meta-Analysis
2007, Journal of the American College of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Among these, 148 full-text articles evaluating the prognostic utility of exercise MPI or exercise echocardiography were reviewed, and 20 studies were found to be eligible for the systematic review. Of the 148 full-text articles reviewed, 17 did not address the research question (15–31), 18 were excluded because they used pharmacologic rather than exercise stress (32–49), 27 did not include primary data on event rates that could be combined in a meta-analysis (47,50–75), 16 did not address a population with known or suspected CAD (76–91), 5 evaluated only hospitalized patients or patients evaluated for chest pain syndromes in the emergency department (92–96), 16 included only patients with angiographically proven CAD or positive tests (97–112), 21 were potentially overlapping patient populations of other studies (53,113–132), 5 evaluated planar MPI (133–137), and 3 did not define a negative test as one without any abnormalities (138–140). Of the 17 studies included that evaluated MPI (141–156), 5 used thallium (143,147,153,154,157), 8 used sestamibi (141,142,146,148–150,152,156), 2 used both thallium and sestamibi (145,155), and 2 used tetrofosmin (144,151).
Prognostic implications of a normal stress technetium-99m-tetrofosmin myocardial perfusion study in patients with a healed myocardial infarct and/or previous coronary revascularization
2006, American Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :The average annual rate of cardiac death/nonfatal myocardial infarction during a mean follow-up of 26.8 months was 0.6%.15 Comparably, normal stress Tc-99m–tetrofosmin SPECT results are associated with a favorable short-term prognosis in unselected patients who have suspected or known CAD.6–10 Groutars et al6 studied 246 patients after normal exercise dual-isotope thallium/Tc-99m–tetrofosmin SPECT findings.
