With the use of iodine 123–labeled metaiodobenzylguanidine (123 I-MIBG) scintigraphy, this
study evaluated regional sympathetic nerve activity in vasospastic angina. Twenty male …

To assess the presence and location of presynaptic myocardial sympathetic abnormality in
patients with vasospastic angina, iodine-123 labelled metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) …

OBJECTIVES.: We assessed the relation between sympathetic nerve activity and disease
activity of vasospastic angina. BACKGROUND.: The autonomic nervous system has been …

Quantitative analysis of iodine 123 metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) myocardial
tomographic imaging showed that the regional uptake reduction and abnormally high …

The purpose of this study was to assess the presence and location of impaired myocardial
sympathetic innervation by using 123I metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I MIBG) in 15 patients …

Background. It has been suggested that the sympathetic nervous system might play an
important role in the development of coronary artery spasm. However, no cardiac imaging …

Background Myocardial imaging is widely used to detect coronary artery disease and to
assess its prognosis. In vasospastic angina (VA), cardiac imaging can provide information …

Significant coronary spasm was induced in all 32 patients. In 25 patients, coronary spasm
was induced in either the right or left coronary artery, whereas an additional provocative test …
