There are no reports indicating a prognostic difference based on normalization of left ventricular (LV) mechanical dyssynchrony after revascularization in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). We retrospectively investigated 596 patients who underwent rest 201Tl and stress 99mTc-tetrofosmin electrocardiogram-gated single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging. All patients had significant stenosis with ≥ 75% narrowing of the coronary arterial diameter detected by coronary angiography performed after confirmation of ≥ 5% ischemia by the SPECT. Patients underwent revascularization and thereafter were re-evaluated by the SPECT during a chronic phase, and followed-up to confirm their prognosis for ≥ 1 year. The composite endpoint was the onset of major cardiac events (MCEs) consisting of cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), unstable angina pectoris (UAP), and severe heart failure requiring hospitalization. The stress phase bandwidth (SPBW) was calculated by phase analysis with the Heart Risk View-F software and its normal upper limit was set to 38°. During the follow-up, 64 patients experienced MCEs: Cardiac death (n = 11), non-fatal MI (n = 5), UAP (n = 26), and severe heart failure (n = 22). The results of the multivariate analysis showed the ∆summed difference score %, ∆stress LV ejection fraction, and stress SPBW after revascularization to be independent predictors of MCEs. Additionally, the results of the multivariate logistic regression analysis showed the summed rest score%, summed difference score%, stress LV ejection fraction, and perfusion defects in the left circumflex artery region before revascularization to be independent predictors for normalized SPBW after revascularization. The prognosis of patients who normalized SPBW after revascularization was similar to that of patients with a normal SPBW before revascularization, while patients who did not normalize after revascularization had the worst prognosis. In conclusion, normalization of LV dyssynchrony after revascularization assessed with nuclear cardiology may help predict future MCEs and thus a useful indicator for predicting improved prognosis in patients with CAD.

D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.

D015899 Tomography, Emission-Computed, Single-Photon A method of computed tomography that uses radionuclides which emit a single photon of a given energy. The camera is rotated 180 or 360 degrees around the patient to capture images at multiple positions along the arc. The computer is then used to reconstruct the transaxial, sagittal, and coronal images from the 3-dimensional distribution of radionuclides in the organ. The advantages of SPECT are that it can be used to observe biochemical and physiological processes as well as size and volume of the organ. The disadvantage is that, unlike positron-emission tomography where the positron-electron annihilation results in the emission of 2 photons at 180 degrees from each other, SPECT requires physical collimation to line up the photons, which results in the loss of many available photons and hence degrades the image.
