Abstrakt: Unlabelled: GIK solutions improve detection of myocardium viability after acute infarction because they could change the metabolic conditions, improving myocardial perfusion defects.
Methods and Results: Seventy four patients (52 men, 22 women, mean age 53.3.08 +/- 12.14 years) with previous myocardial infarction (evolution time, 4.2 +/- 3.1 months) underwent pharmacological stress (dipyridamole), rest redistribution and reinjection Tl-201 image as well rest/stress Tc-99m Sestamibi, after the intravenous administration of GIK (200 g glucose +/- 30 UI regular insuline +/- 40 mEq potassiumchloride/500 mL in continuous infusion during 3 hours), Group A (N = 22) or oral administration of 70 g of glucose+/- 40 mEq of potassium chloride taking in advantage the endogenous insulin secretion, to non-diabetic patients (group B = GB, N = 26) and group C (GC, diabetic patients N = 26). All of the 74 patients received 10 mg of sublingual Isorbide previous to 25 mCi of Tc99m Sestamibi administration in a different 2 days protocol. A total of 1,480 myocardial segments were assessed and numbered, and the severity of perfusion defects in the segments involved, were compared between Thallium 201 rest reinjection and GIK-MIBI as the main objective of the study. Involved territories number: 4.02 +/- 2.50 vs. 6.88 +/- 2.12, p = 0.005 for AD; 5.2 +/- 1.44 vs. 6.35 +/- 1.11, p = 0.05 for RC and 1.58 +/- 1.01 vs. 2.05 +/- 1.05, p = 0.05 Cx. For GIK-MIBI vs. Tl-201 reinjection respectively, and defect severity: 8.2 +/- 6.04 vs. 13.22 +/- 5.38, p = 0.01 for LAD; 11.72 +/- 5.08 vs. 15.13 +/- 4.42, p = 0.005 for RC and 2.66 +/- 2.09 vs. 4.69 +/- 3.58, p = 0.003 Cx . For GIK-MIBI vs. Tl-201 reinjection respectively, were found.
Conclusion: Our data suggest that GIK-MIBI protocol is a safe and easy procedure which improves the detection of perfusion reversible defects compared with Tl-201 reinjection, obtaining better information regarding myocardial viability, with lower acquisition time and less cost.
