New developments in pharmacologic stress imaging.

Abstract:

:The clinical usefulness of cardiac imaging modalities that rely upon the detection of perfusion defects and wall motion disturbances requires conditions that provoke a heterogeneity of coronary flow and a myocardial oxygen imbalance, respectively. Traditionally, this has been achieved by exercise stress testing. Many patients cannot perform dynamic exercise sufficiently for various reasons. Pharmacologic stress has been proven to be an attractive alternative for physical exercise. Currently, several stressing agents are used in conjunction with thallium-201 scintigraphy, 2-D echocardiography and, recently, MRI. The most employed agents include vasodilators, such as dipyridamole and adenosine, and catecholamines, such as dobutamine (Table VI). The predominant rationale of thallium-201 perfusion scintigraphy is based on the creation of a flow maldistribution between territories supplied by normal arteries and those supplied by stenotic arteries that does not necessarily require ischemia. Dipyridamole and adenosine, as rather selective coronary vasodilators, are well suited to provoke such a condition and may be classified as the ideal markers of myocardial perfusion. 2-D echocardiography and MRI have the potential to provide noninvasively derived information of cardiac dynamics and regional myocardial function. To assess the functional significance of coronary artery disease, detection of wall motion abnormalities and alterations in ejection fraction require the presence of myocardial ischemia. Dobutamine, as a widely applied inotropic agent in the management of severely depressed left ventricular contractile function, seems to be an appropriate pharmacologic stressor when heart failure is absent. By increasing contractility, heart rate, and systolic arterial pressure, it is capable of inducing an imbalance between myocardial oxygen demand and supply, leading to ischemia in patients with coronary artery disease.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
