OBJECTIVESIn this study we determined whether13N-ammonia uptake measured late after injection provides additional insight into myocardial viability beyond its value as a myocardial blood flow tracer.BACKGROUNDMyocardial accumulation of13N-ammonia is dependent on both regional blood flow and metabolic trapping.METHODSTwenty-six patients with chronic coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction underwent prerevascularization13N-ammonia and18F-deoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography, and thallium single-photon emission computed tomography. Pre- and postrevascularization wall-motion abnormalities were assessed using gated cardiac magnetic resonance imaging or gated radionuclide angiography.RESULTSWall motion improved in 61 of 107 (57%) initially asynergic regions and remained abnormal in 46 after revascularization. Mean absolute myocardial blood flow was significantly higher in regions that improved compared to regions that did not improve after revascularization (0.63 ± 0.27 vs. 0.52 ± 0.25 ml/min/g, p < 0.04). Similarly, the magnitude of late13N-ammonia uptake and FDG uptake was significantly higher in regions that improved (90 ± 20% and 94 ± 25%, respectively) compared to regions that did not improve after revascularization (67 ± 24% and 71 ± 25%, p < 0.001 for both, respectively). However, late13N-ammonia uptake was a significantly better predictor of functional improvement after revascularization (area under the receiver operating characteristic [ROC] curve = 0.79) when compared to absolute blood flow (area under the ROC curve = 0.63, p < 0.05). In addition, there was a linear relationship between late13N-ammonia uptake and FDG uptake (r = 0.68, p < 0.001) as well as thallium uptake (r = 0.76, p < 0.001) in all asynergic regions.CONCLUSIONSThese data suggest that beyond its value as a perfusion tracer, late13N-ammonia uptake provides useful information regarding functional recovery after revascularization. The parallel relationship among13N-ammonia, FDG, and thallium uptake supports the concept that uptake of13N-ammonia as measured from the late images may provide important insight regarding cell membrane integrity and myocardial viability.
