Myocardial viability has become one of the most important issues in
clinical cardiology. In particular, absence or presence of
viability may be decisive in patient management, and the decision
to perform angioplasty (PTCA) or bypass surgery (CABG) is
frequently based on the accurate assessment of viability. Although
echocardiography and conventional nuclear medicine techniques may
provide valuable information on viability, positron emission
tomography (PET) is currently considered to be the gold standard
for the assessment of myocardial viability. The simultaneous
evaluation of myocardial metabolism and perfusion allows precise
delineation and accurate quantification of residual myocardial
viability in affected regions. In addition, accurate quantification
of myocardial perfusion alone may provide insight into the basic
mechanisms of syndrome X and may assist in the appropriate
clarification of this clinically complicated, but frequently
occurring phenomenon. Besides that, cardiac PET may deepen our
insight into metabolism and perfusion of cardiac muscle disease,
particularly in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Furthermore, receptor
imaging studies with PET will become important as the study of
cardiac neurohumoral regulation in heart failure has gained in
interest. Cardiac Positron Emission Tomography: Viability,
Perfusion, Receptors and Cardiomyopathy describes the most recent
developments in cardiac PET as these are related to myocardial
viability and myocardial perfusion studies of syndrome X. The value
of PET for receptor imaging and cardiac muscle disease is also
discussed. For cardiologists, nuclear medicine physicians,
radiochemists, physiologists, technicians and basic researchers
interested in understanding the most recent achievements in
cardiovascular PET.
