Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to evaluate subjects with high-risk alcohol cardiotoxicity and patients with alcoholic cardiomyopathy (ACM) via dynamic 11C-Acetate positron emission tomography (PET) imaging as a myocardial oxidative metabolic probe. METHODS AND RESULTS: We recruited 37 subjects with chronic alcohol consumption [18 with moderate consumption (MC), 19 with heavy consumption (HC)], 5 ACM patients, and 12 healthy controls to receive dynamic 11C-Acetate PET scans. PET imaging data were analyzed to calculate kinetic parameters (e.g., Kmono, K1 and k2) based on the mono-exponential and one-tissue compartmental models. Myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO2) and myocardial external efficiency (MEE) were then derived from these kinetic parameters. MVO2 was significantly lowered in the HC group and in ACM patients (0.121± 0.018 and 0.111 ± 0.017 mL·g-1·min-1, respectively) compared with those in healthy controls and MC subjects (0.144 ± 0.023 and 0.146 ± 0.027 mL·g-1·min-1, respectively; P < .01). MEE was significantly reduced in ACM patients (13.0% ± 4.3%) compared with those of healthy controls (22.4% ± 4.6%, P < .01), MC subjects (20.1% ± 4.5%, P < .05), and HC subjects (22.3% ± 4.5%, P < .001). CONCLUSION: Functional assessment via dynamic 11C-Acetate PET imaging may represent a clinically feasible probe for identifying cohorts with high-risk cardiotoxicity due to addictive alcohol consumption and ACM.
