Popis: | We evaluated quantitatively the correlations between resting wall motion and regional myocardial blood flow (RMBF; at rest and during exercise) in infarct-related myocardium. The study was performed in 28 subjects: 21 patients who had previously suffered myocardial infarction of the anteroseptal wall, and 7 normal individuals. Positron emission tomography (PET) with [13N]ammonia was performed at rest and during low-grade exercise (bicycle ergometer fixed at 25 W for 6.5 min), and RMBF was measured quantitatively from the radioactivity in myocardial tissue and arterial blood. Resting regional wall motion was calculated using the centerline method on left ventriculographic findings. Resting regional wall motion was correlated with RMBF both at rest and during exercise in the infarct areas (anterior walls; y = 2.74 +/- 4.25 x 10(-2)x, r = 0.43, at rest; and y = -2.48 + 3.04 x 10(-2)x, r = 0.48, during exercise, p0.05; septal walls; y = -3.61 + 5.64 x 10(-2)x, r = 0.62, at rest; and y = -3.46 + 4.31 x 10(-2)x, r = 0.62, during exercise, p0.01). In each infarct-related wall, the coefficient (the slope) during exercise was smaller than that at rest (3.04 vs 4.25 and 4.31 vs 5.64 in each), and the infarct areas with preserved wall motion showed higher RMBF during exercise than those with reduced wall motion. Our results may show that wall motion depends on viable but ischemic myocardium in infarct-related walls. |
