Determination of viable myocardium through delayed enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance imaging combined with 18 F-FDG PET myocardial perfusion/metabolic imaging before CABG.
International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging 2024 January 25
PURPOSE: Study aims to investigate the consistency of delayed enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (DE-CMR) and 18 F-FDG PET myocardial imaging in evaluating myocardial viability before CABG.
METHODS: The study analyzed data from 100 patients who were examined with DE-CMR, PET imaging, and echocardiography before and after CABG. All subjects were followed up for 6-12 month post- CABG.
RESULTS: DE-CMR and PET imaging have high consistency (90.1%; Kappa value = 0.71, p < 0.01) in determining myocardial viability. The degree of delayed enhancement was negatively correlated with the improvement in myocardial contractile function in this segment after revascularization (P < 0.001). The ratio of scarred myocardial segments and total DE score was significantly lower in the improvement group than non-improvement group. Multivariate regression identified that hibernating myocardium (OR = 1.229, 95%CI: 1.053-1.433, p = 0.009) was influencing factor of LVEF improvement after CABG.
CONCLUSION: Both imaging techniques are consistent in evaluating myocardial viability. Detecting the number of hibernating myocardium by PET is also important to predict the left heart function improvement after CABG.
