Prevalence and significance of extracardiac uptake on pyrophosphate imaging in the SCAN-MP study: the first 379 cases
ConclusionExtracardiac Tc-99m PYP uptake manifested in about 1 in 9 SCAN-MP subjects but was clinically actionable in only 1.1% of cases. (Source: Journal of Nuclear Cardiology)

The Never-ending Story: Assessing coronary collateral circulation with myocardial perfusion imaging
AbstractThe role of coronary collateral circulation has been thoroughly studied, and myocardial perfusion imaging has been a frequently employed method. Even angiographic invisible collaterals can support some degree of tracer uptake, but the clinical role of this evaluation is still uncertain, and this remains the main issue that should be clarified.

Immediate recruitment of dormant coronary collaterals can provide more than half of normal resting perfusion during coronary occlusion in patients with coronary artery disease
ConclusionThis is the first study to describe the magnitude of short-term changes in coronary microvascular collateral perfusion in patients with CAD. On average, despite coronary occlusion and an absence of angiographically visible collateral vessels, collaterals provided more than half of the normal perfusion.

Current vision of a disease with high mortality that is progressively dispersing throughout the world: Chagasic heart disease
The sympathetic denervation studies and the studies of microvascular involvement are the most important tools for early detection of Chagas heart disease. Especially the 123I-123I-MIBGSPECT or 11C-meta-hydroxyephedrine-PET studies since everything starts from sympathetic denervation. Also it is advisable to insist on the assessment of other parameters of early involvement of left ventricular systolic function to understand the importance of the additional information provided by the analysis of the parameters of ventricular remodeling, synchrony, and GLS in patients with normal left ventricular ejection fraction and in the...
