Clinical Data
• 58 year-old man with diabetes, hypertension, chronic renal
insufficiency, tobacco use, prior heroin abuse and liver
transplantation two years ago due to hepatitides B and C.
• One week prior to admission he was admitted to another
hospital with community acquired pneumonia. He was
discharged two days prior to admission.
• He presented on the day of admission with chest pain for
12 hours. In the ER he was noted to have anterior ST
elevation.

Clinical Data
• He was referred for surgical revascularization.
The surgical team requested evaluation of
myocardial viability given his delayed
presentation and the concern for limited
myocardial salvage.

– With or without reinjection
» Usually at 4 hours
– Perfusion tracer initially
• Ischemia is a sign of viability
– Membrane integrity tracer in the late phase
• K analog
– Assesses integrity of membrane and Na-K-ATPase

PET
• All PET agents (18FDG, 11C acetate) assess cardiac
energy metabolism.
–
18FDG
imaging assesses glucose metabolism
• Ischemic myocardium generally favors glucose utilization
–

acetate imaging assesses lipid metabolism

Poor Image Quality
Harvard
Medical

Importance of Good Patient Preparation
• In the assessment of myocardial viability, the
quality and utility of the images is highly
dependent on appropriate patient preparation
– Inadequate patient preparation can lead to spurious
results or images with no diagnostic value
Harvard

School
Myocardial Energy Metabolism
• Cardiac myocytes are continuously active
– Require efficient use of energy resources
– Require continual repletion of energy substrates
• Faced with varying levels in supply
– Flexibility in substrate use
Harvard
Medical
School
Anaerobic Metabolism
• Inefficient
– Each glucose molecule
yields two ATP
• Requires glucose
• Does not require oxygen
• Lactate is the waste
product

Aerobic Metabolism
• Efficient
– Citric acid cycle produces
abundant ATP
• Can function with
multiple substrates
• Requires oxygen
• Water and CO2 are the
waste products

Glucose Handling
• In normal patients, feeding causes a rise in glucose and
insulin that restores glucose balance
– Uptake of glucose in peripheral tissues
• HEART
• In type 1 diabetics, feeding causes a rise in glucose while
insulin remains low/absent
– Continued gluconeogenesis and glucose conservation
• In type 2 diabetics, feeding causes a rise in glucose and
insulin but peripheral tissues are resistant to the action of
insulin
– Continued gluconeogenesis and glucose conservation

Goal of Patient Preparation
• Ensure that glucose is the primary substrate used
for myocardial energy metabolism
– Abundant Glucose

Patient Preparation Protocols
•
•
•
•
Acipimox
Hyperinsulinemic/euglycemic clamp
IV glucose
Oral glucose
Harvard
Medical
School
Acipimox
• Potent inhibitor of peripheral lypolysis
– Drastically reduces FFA in blood
• As FFA are the principal alternative energy source
for the myocardium, glucose utilization increases
– Relatively independent of insulin and glucose levels
• Not FDA approved
– Used in Europe
Harvard
Medical
School
Hyperinsulinemic/Euglycemic Clamp
• Simultaneous infusions of insulin and glucose to
increase the insulin level while keeping the
glucose level from falling
– High insulin
– Normal glucose
– Low FFA
• High myocardial glucose utilization
Harvard
Medical
School
Glucose Loading
• Provide a large dose of oral or IV glucose
• Endogenous production of insulin
–
–
–
–
Supplemented with exogenous insulin if needed
Moderately high insulin
Normal glucose
Low FFA
• High myocardial glucose utilization
Harvard
Medical
School
Glucose Loading: Diabetes
• Exogenous insulin is required for appropriate
patient preparation with either type 1 or type 2
diabetes
– With type 1, there is little or no endogenous insulin
– With type 2, there is insulin resistance, requiring higher
insulin levels to ensure that insulin has an effect
• Observation of a falling blood sugar after
hyperglycemia is evidence of insulin action
Harvard
Medical
School
Patient Preparation Protocols
• Acipimox
– Easy
– Effective
– Not FDA approved
• Hyperinsulinemic/euglycemic clamp
– Difficult
– Effective
• IV/Oral Glucose Loading
– Relatively easy
– Almost always effective

pharmacokinetics

• Pharmocokinetics also vary with the route of

Insulin
• For patient preparation for FDG imaging, use
REGULAR insulin given IV
– Peak action of subcutaneous regular insulin occurs ~3
hours after the dose
– Peak action of IV regular insulin occurs ~15 minutes
after the dose

5. If the initial BS is >250, then give IV regular insulin according to the protocol below. If oral
glucose is given, recheck BS in 30 minutes and then give IV regular insulin according to the
same protocol.

Notify Physician
BS >300
6. Check BS every 15 minutes.
 If BS is <140, inject FDG
 If BS continues to rise, give IV regular insulin according to the protocol above and
continue to check BS every 15 minutes
 If BS is falling but remains elevated, give IV regular insulin at half the dose according
to the protocol above and continue to check BS every 15 minutes
 If BS remains elevated after 90 minutes, contact the imaging physician
7. Have the patient eat a light meal 15 minutes after injection of FDG.
8. Continue to check BS every 30 minutes after injection of FDG to monitor for hypoglycemia.
9. Begin imaging 60-90 minutes after injection of FDG.
10. After imaging, monitor patient for 30 minutes and obtain BS. If BS >70 then the patient can
be discharged.
11. Upon discharge instruct the patient to:
 Beware of hypoglycemia. Encourage the patient to have a meal soon after discharge.
 Resume all prior medications.
If at any time during the protocol there is a question about how to proceed,
contact the imaging physician immediately.

Case 2
• 45 year-old man with a history of CAD, diabetes,
CHF (LVEF 25%) who presented with repetitive
ICD firing due to recurrent VT.
• He was admitted to the hospital and found to have
a small NSTEMI. Cardiac catheterization was
performed and showed a 70% proximal LAD
stenosis, a totally occluded RCA, and occluded
SVGs to the LAD and PDA.
Harvard
Medical
School
Case 2
• The clinical team determined that his recurrent VT
was most likely to ischemia and consulted the CT
surgeons to determine his candidacy for a second
CABG. The surgeons requested a myocardial
viability study prior to proceeding.

• The study was interpreted as showing nonviability of the apex and inferior wall. The
remaining segments were viable.
• He subsequently underwent LAD stenting and has
done well since then.

Case 3
A 59 year old with a history of diabetes,
hypertension and dyslipidemia sees his PCP
because of the new onset of dyspnea. His ECG
reveals LBBB. His PCP sends him for nuclear
imaging with exercise stress. During the test, he
has dyspnea at a low workload.
