Washout Rate of Cardiac Iodine-123 Metaiodobenzylguanidine is High in Chronic Heart Failure Patients With Central Sleep Apnea

Abstract Background The association between sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) assessed by polysomnography and cardiac sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) assessed by cardiac iodine-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) imaging has not been investigated in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Met...

Zusammenfassung:Abstract Background The association between sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) assessed by polysomnography and cardiac sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) assessed by cardiac iodine-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) imaging has not been investigated in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Methods and Results We performed cardiac 123I-MIBG scintigraphy and overnight polysomnography in 59 patients with stable CHF. The patients were classified into the 3 groups: 19 with no or mild SDB (NM-SDB, apnea-hypopnea index
