We studied the relationship between myocardial [123l] metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG)
uptake and autonomie nerve activity in normal subjects. Methods: MIBG scintigraphy and …

Background.[123I] Metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) imaging has been used to assess
cardiac sympathetic nerve abnormalities. We evaluated the clinical significance of …

[123I] MIBG was lower in inferior and apex segments in normal subjects (p< 0.05). A
significant difference was observed in RRU in the inferior segment of the distal left ventricle …

MATERIALS AND METhODS Patients Three hundred fifteen patients, age range 40— 79yr.
were referred for cardiac catheterization because of chest pain or ECG abnormality, which …

Abstract 123 I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG), a tracer for sympathetic neuron integrity
and function, was applied to 155 patients with various types of cardiac disease. The …

I-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) is a new radiopharmaceutical with properties that
allow the characterization of the sympathetic innervation of several organ systems. In this …

To further characterize the behavior of metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) in the myocardium
and to test the hypothesis that the denervated heart would show normal early uptake on …

Background123I-labeled metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) is used increasingly to
assess cardiac adrenergic neuron function. Few studies have reported data on myocardial …

Abstract Meta-123 I-iodobenzylguanidine (123 I-MIBG), which is an analog of
