Abstract
BACKGROUND: Transient ischemic dilation (TID) of the left ventricle (LV) has not been validated as a marker of extensive coronary artery disease (CAD) for studies using a cadmium-zinc-telluride (CZT) camera with upright imaging. METHODS: TID ratios were obtained from upright stress and rest images on a CZT camera. Separate cut-off values were determined for exercise and for regadenoson stress. The cutoffs were then applied to 28 patients with extensive CAD and 101 patients without extensive CAD. RESULTS: With treadmill exercise, an upright TID ratio ≥1.16 provided a positive predictive value of 50% and a negative predictive value of 85.4% for the identification of extensive CAD. In the regadenoson group, an upright TID ratio of 1.29 provided a positive predictive value of 20% and a negative predictive value of 75.9%. Although not an independent predictor of extensive CAD in all subjects, in subjects with a normal upright LVEF, it provided a predictive value by receiver operating characteristics comparable to the SSS. CONCLUSIONS: Increased upright TID measurements on a CZT camera are associated with extensive CAD. The upright TID measurements can serve in an adjunctive role to SSS, and may be most effective in patients with a normal upright exercise LVEF.
