Assessment of myocardial sympathetic innervation by PET in patients with heart failure: a review of the most recent advances and future perspectives

Purpose Life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias (VA) are a major cause of death in patients with congestive heart failure (HF). Among various factors, the sympathetic nervous system may give rise to VA in several pathophysiological pathways due to an impaired function of presynaptic sympathetic ner...

description Purpose Life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias (VA) are a major cause of death in patients with congestive heart failure (HF). Among various factors, the sympathetic nervous system may give rise to VA in several pathophysiological pathways due to an impaired function of presynaptic sympathetic nerve terminals. Positron emission tomography (PET) with labeled catecholamine analogues represents a reliable tool to assess the sympathetic innervation activity. This review aims at summarising the most relevant and recent literature findings on the current role of PET in the evaluation of cardiac sympathetic activity in patients with heart failure. Methods and Results A comprehensive literature search strategy using PubMed databases was carried out looking for articles on the role of Positron emission tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) in the assessment of myocardial sympathetic innervation in patients with heart failure. The literature search limited to the last 5 years retrieved 40 papers. Most of the papers dealt with PET studies with 11 C-HED. 19 pre-clinical, first-in-human and clinical studies highlighting the current role of PET and future perspectives resulted eligible for inclusion in the present review. Conclusion The assessment of myocardial sympathetic activity in patients with heart failure with PET will play a pivotal role in clinical practice. Its capability to predict the occurrence of life-threatening VA and the effectiveness of resynchronization therapy makes this technique ideal in the era of personalized medicine.
