Comparator / control treatment
Coronary flow reserve (CFR) control pre and post-therapy;
All patients undergone single-day stress–rest 99mTc-tetrofosmin Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI) by gated SPECT according to the European Association of Nuclear Medicine and European Society of Cardiology recommendations [Hesse B, Tagil K, Cuocolo A, Anagnostopoulos C, Bardies M, Bax J, et al. European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM)/European Society of Cardiology (ESC) procedural guidelines for myocardial perfusion imaging in nuclear cardiology. Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging 2005;32:855–97.]. A pharmacological dipyridamole-induced stress according to a standardized protocol is carried out monitoring heart rate and rhythm, blood pressure and electrocardiography (EKG).
At peak stress 370 MBq of 99mTc-tetrofosmin are injected intravenously. Two to three hours after the stress test, 1,110 MBq of 99mTc-tetrofosmin are injected at rest. Gated-SPECT imaging (16 frames per cardiac cycle) is executed 30 and 60 min after the tracer injection for the post-stress and rest study, respectively, using a dual head gamma camera. CFR calculation is carried out according to a validated method (Storto G et al. Estimation of coronary flow reserve by Tc-99m sestamibi imaging in patients with coronary artery disease: comparison with the results of intracoronary Doppler technique. J Nucl Cardiol. 2004 Nov-Dec;11(6):682-8.
