- Abstract
Value of combined perfusion and metabolic tracers versus stress-rest perfusion imaging for coronary heart disease Comparison of Stress and Rest Flow, Fatty Acid, and Glucose Uptake Even in chronic stable CAD, more frequently induced, recent, or persistent ischemia including asymptomatic ischemia might result in a regional or local mismatch between fatty acid uptake and perfusion. However, instead of repeatedly assessing the same patients using stress-rest perfusion during the clinical course, appropriate use of metabolic imaging depending on patient status is certainly safe and practical for identifying potential ischemia, ischemic memory, and myocardial injury. However, the Japanese healthcare system does not permit the routine clinical use of SP 18 sp F-FDG and SP 13 sp N-NH SB 3 sb to detect ischemia.[5] From a pathophysiological viewpoint, occult ischemia overlooked by resting perfusion could be visualized when a mismatch is added.
