Electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated single photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging (GSPECT-MPI) is widely used for assessing coronary artery disease. Phase analysis on GSPECT-MPI can assess left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony quantitatively on standard GSPECT-MPI alongside myocardial perfusion and function assessment. It has been shown that phase variables by GSPECT-MPI correlate well with tissue Doppler imaging by echocardiography. Main phase variables quantified by GSPECT-MPI are entropy, bandwidth, and phase standard deviation. Although those variables are automatically obtained from several software packages including Quantitative Gated SPECT and Emory Cardiac Toolbox, the methods for their measurement vary in each package. Several studies have shown that phase analysis has predictive value for response to cardiac resynchronization therapy and prognostic value for future adverse cardiac events beyond standard GSPECT-MPI variables. In this review, we summarize the basics of phase analysis on GSPECT-MPI and usefulness of phase analysis in clinical practice.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D004562 Electrocardiography Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY. 12-Lead ECG,12-Lead EKG,12-Lead Electrocardiography,Cardiography,ECG,EKG,Electrocardiogram,Electrocardiograph,12 Lead ECG,12 Lead EKG,12 Lead Electrocardiography,12-Lead ECGs,12-Lead EKGs,12-Lead Electrocardiographies,Cardiographies,ECG, 12-Lead,EKG, 12-Lead,Electrocardiograms,Electrocardiographies, 12-Lead,Electrocardiographs,Electrocardiography, 12-Lead

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.

D018487 Ventricular Dysfunction, Left A condition in which the LEFT VENTRICLE of the heart was functionally impaired. This condition usually leads to HEART FAILURE; MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION; and other cardiovascular complications. Diagnosis is made by measuring the diminished ejection fraction and a depressed level of motility of the left ventricular wall.
