To evaluate the ability to detect coronary artery disease (CAD) with a new iodine-123 labeled branched fatty acid analog, iodophenyl-9-methyl pentadecanoic acid (9MPA), we performed 9MPA, iodine-123 BMIPP and thallium-201 SPECT in patients with CAD. Twenty-four patients (11 with effort angina and 13 with myocardial infarction) were studied. In all patients, 9MPA SPECT was obtained at 15 min after injection. Twenty-three patients underwent stress-redistribution 201Tl SPECT and 9 patients also underwent BMIPP myocardial fatty acid imaging. The regional uptakes of 9MPA, BMIPP and 201Tl were scored semiquantitatively and the segmental agreements were compared among them. In the segment-to-segment comparison, 9MPA showed reduced activity in comparison to stress-redistribution 201Tl imaging. The defect score of 9MPA was significantly greater than that of redistribution 201Tl images (p < 0.001). In addition, segmental 9MPA uptake was lower than BMIPP and its defect score was significantly greater than that of BMIPP (p < 0.05). When coronary angiography was used as the criterion, 9MPA showed higher sensitivity and lower specificity than stress-redistribution 201Tl (p < 0.01). In conclusion, fatty acid metabolic imaging with 9MPA is a sensitive but nonspecific detector of CAD.

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.

D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.
