Temporal Trends in the Prevalence, Severity, and Localization of Myocardial Ischemia and Necrosis at Myocardial Perfusion Imaging After Myocardial Infarction

The definition, presentation, and management of myocardial infarction (MI) have changed substantially in the last decade. Whether these changes have impacted on the presence, severity, and localization of necrosis at myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) has not been appraised to date. Subjects undergo...

description The definition, presentation, and management of myocardial infarction (MI) have changed substantially in the last decade. Whether these changes have impacted on the presence, severity, and localization of necrosis at myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) has not been appraised to date. Subjects undergoing MPI and reporting a history of clinical MI were shortlisted. We focused on the presence, severity, and localization of necrosis at MPI with a retrospective single-center analysis. A total of 10,476 patients were included, distinguishing 5 groups according to the period in which myocardial perfusion scintigraphy had been performed (2004 to 2005, 2006 to 2007, 2008 to 2009, 2010 to 2011, 2012 to 2013). Trend analysis showed over time a significant worsening in baseline features (e.g., age, diabetes mellitus, and Q waves at electrocardiogram), whereas medical therapy and revascularization were offered with increasing frequency. Over the years, there was also a lower prevalence of normal MPI (from 16.8% to 13.6%) and ischemic MPI (from 35.6% to 32.8%), and a higher prevalence of ischemic and necrotic MPI (from 12.0% to 12.7%) or solely necrotic MPI (from 35.7% to 40.9%, p
