What is viable? a) Normal b) Ischemic c) Stunned d) Short-term hibernation (repetitive stunning) e) Chronic hibernation f) maimed-embalmedNB:NB:- From c) to e) not contracting viable cells (tissue)- c) spontaneous recovery- d) & e) variable grade of recovery only after revascularozation

Rest myocardial blood flow (rMBF)
- Normal (≈≈≈≈ 0.8 ml/gr/min) a) Stunned b) Short-term hibernation - Reduced a) Chronic hibernation b) Maimed-embalmed

CORONARY RESERVE
a) Stunned: preserved with variable degrees
b) Short-term hibernation: impaired or abolished
c) Chronic hibernation: preserved at low level (flow down-regulation)
![Page 8: Myocardial viability detected with SPECT perfusion imagingnucleus.iaea.org/HHW/NuclearMedicine/... · Myocardial viability detected with SPECT perfusion imaging Raffaele Giubbini](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040104/5e8bc6ed56962346c3413d9c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

PHYSIOPATHOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES - loss of contractility - preservation of ultrastructure (stunned & short-term hibernation)
- progressive undifferentiation (chronic hibernation � loss of contractyle proteins, fibrosis)
- preserved function of cell membrane - metabolic shift (predominant in chronic hibernation, variable in stunning)
- apoptotic trend

Goals of Assessing Myocardial Viability
To select pts candidate to revascularization procedures in order to achieve an improvement in:
– Perfusion– Systolic function– Symptoms & Natural history (independently of the
improvement in global systolic function) • diastolic performance, • improvement in systolic and diastolic function during stress, • stabilization of the arrhythmic milieu, • prevention of MI and potential attenuation of progressive
remodeling in pts with LV dysfunction

Reasons for Discrepancies in Techniques for Identifying Viability
10 Patients with severe ischemic cardiomyopathy (mean LVEF 27%) scheduled for prompt heart transplantation
The percentage of live myocytes per segment needed for LDDE or Dobutamine MRI to identify viability was higher than Thallium (40% vs. 32%) The highest agreement was between LDDE and Dobutamine MRI (91%)
The demonstration of improved contractility (contractile reserve) requires more live myocytes than what’s needed for the same segment to effectively uptake Thallium

Assessment of viabilityWhy nuclear imaging?
♥ Real 3-D imaging ♥ Standardization♥ Qualitative and quantitative analysis♥ Simultaneous evaluation of
perfusion, viability and LV function♥ High sensitivity♥ Reproducibility♥ Accuracy demonstrated in
large body of literature♥ Prognostic impact♥ Availability♥ Feasibility
Prons Cons♥ Poor spatial resolution♥ (Uptake related to residual blood flow)

TAKE HOME MESSAGERadionuclide techniques are a simple, reproducible, widely validated and very sensitive method for detecting viable myocardium: SPECT imaging with Thallium or Tc-labelled agents may be the first step to detect hibernating myocardium in asynercic areas.
In patients with the most severe depression in LVEF and very high revascularization risk, PET-FDG imaging may also be advisable
![Page 58: Myocardial viability detected with SPECT perfusion imagingnucleus.iaea.org/HHW/NuclearMedicine/... · Myocardial viability detected with SPECT perfusion imaging Raffaele Giubbini](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040104/5e8bc6ed56962346c3413d9c/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)

There is substantial evidence supporting the concept that radionuclide imaging of myocardial viability can provide important prognostic information in patients with CHF and LV dysfunction and that it can drive decision making as a strong predictor of the potential benefit of revascularisation.
Patients with CHF, LV dysfunction anda significant extent of myocardial viability are a very high risk Pt subset for cardiac death.
