Cardiac adrenergic innervation within the first 3 months after acute myocardial infarction.
Clinical Physiology 2000 September
It is widely accepted that myocardial infarction results in adrenergic denervation of the infarcted and peri-infarcted myocardium. On the contrary, the concept of re-innervation of adrenergic nerve fibres is less well established. Although there is evidence of partial re-innervation occuring several months after myocardial infarction, the extent and time scale of re-innervation are only poorly known. In this study we investigated changes in cardiac adrenergic innervation and myocardial perfusion during the early convalescence period (the first 3 months) after an acute myocardial infarction. Single-photon emission computed tomographic imaging was conducted in 15 men 1 week and 3 months after an acute myocardial infarction with I123-metaiodobentzylguanidine (MIBG) and Tc99m-sestamibi (MIBI) to determine the extent of adrenergic denervation and impaired perfusion, respectively. A MIBG and MIBI defect was determined as regional uptake
