Abstract :

Objective: This study aims to compare the [99mTc] MIBI infusion and [99mTc] MIBI + GIK (glucose, insulin, potassium)infusion worksfor demonstrating the myocardial viability in patients with chronic ischemic segmental wall motion disorder.

Method:The study includes 20 patients with left ventricular wall motion abnormality detected in echocardiography and vascular occlusion detected in angiography. The myocardial SPECT images of all patients were taken with both MIBI infusion and MIBI + GIK protocols at 1–week intervals.

Results:When evaluated according to the scores of 400 segments in total, the total score was found to be 203 in the MIBI infusion study and to be 160 in the MIBI infusion + GIK infusion study.

Conclusion:

MIBIinfusion +GIK infusion study was found to be more successful compared to the MIBI infusion study in the evaluation of the myocardial viability and it was concluded that it could be used in the evaluation of the viability.
