What is Comparison of Acute Rest Myocardial Perfusion Imaging and Serum Markers of Myocardial Injury in Patients with Chest Pain Syndromes*1, *2 about?
Background: Newer diagnostic modalities such as serum markers and acute rest myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) have been evaluated diagnostically in patients with chest pain in the emergency d e p a r t m e n t (ED), but never concurrently. We compared these two modalities in distinguishing patients in the ED with symptomatic myocardial ischemia from those with noncardiac causes. Methods: Serum markers and acute technetium-99m sestamibi/tetrofosmin rest M P I were obtained in 75 patients admitted to the ED with chest pain and nondiagnostic electrocardiograms. Venous samples were drawn at admission and 8 to 24 hours later for total creatine kinase, C K -M B fraction, troponin T, troponin I, and myoglobin. Three nuclear cardiologists performed blinded image interpretation. Coronary artery disease (CAD) was confirmed either by diagnostic testing or by the occurrence of myocardial infarction (MI). Results: Acute rest M P I results were abnormal in all 9 patients with M1. An additional 26 patients had objective evidence of CAD confirmed by diagnostic testing. The sensitivity of acute rest M P I for objective evidence of CAD was 73%. Serum troponin T and troponin I were highly specific
