Clinical Value of Iodine-123 Beta-Methyliodophenyl Pentadecanoic Acid (BMIPP) Myocardial Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography for Predicting Cardiac Death Among Patients With Chronic Heart Failure

In the present study, the effectiveness of 123I-β-methyliodophenyl pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) for predicting cardiac death of patients with chronic heart failure was evaluated. Abnormalities of fatty acid metabolism are found in patients with chroni...

Zusammenfassung:	In the present study, the effectiveness of 123I-β-methyliodophenyl pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) for predicting cardiac death of patients with chronic heart failure was evaluated. Abnormalities of fatty acid metabolism are found in patients with chronic heart failure and BMIPP was developed as a tracer for scintigraphic assessment of myocardial fatty acid utilization. The study group comprised 74 patients with chronic heart failure with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)
