| Popis: | On December 2, 1982, a permanent total artificial heart was implanted into the chest of a 61-year-old man with a progressive and irreversible cardiomyopathy. During the ensuing four-month hospitalization, a number of nuclear medicine procedures were obtained to assist in patient management. These procedures included gated cardiac radionuclide ventriculography, an I-123 iodoamphetamine scan for cerebral perfusion, and In-111 labeled leukocyte imaging. These radionuclide studies demonstrate the advantages of being able to monitor physiologic changes noninvasively and illustrate a potential role for nuclear cardiology in managing patients with a total artificial heart. |
