Abstract
Objective

The objective of this study was to investigate predictor variables at the moment of normal stress-rest myocardial perfusion gated SPECT for the indication of a second gated SPECT.

Materials and methods

A prospective, single center cohort study was conducted. We evaluated 2326 consecutive patients (age 63.6±13 years, 57.3% females) without perfusion defects and with normal left ventricular ejection fraction on a myocardial perfusion gated SPECT. Clinical and stress test variables were studied to predict indication of a second gated SPECT and presence of reversible perfusion defects in the second gated SPECT.

Results

During a mean follow-up of 3.6±2 years a second gated SPECT was performed in 286 patients (12.3%). Independent predictor variables of a second gated SPECT were presence of three or more cardiovascular risk factors (χ2: 5.510; HR: 1.4; p=0.019), previous acute myocardial infarction (χ2: 3.867; HR: 1.4; p=0.049), previous coronary revascularization (χ2: 41.081; HR: 2.5; p<0.001), and a positive stress test (χ2: 8.713; HR: 1.5; p=0.003). Observation of perfusion defects in the 280 patients in whom a second stress-rest gated SPECT was performed was more likely in male patients (χ2: 4.322; HR: 1.9; p=0.038) who had a first pure pharmacological gated-SPECT (χ2: 7.182; HR: 2.6; p=0.007).

Conclusions

In patients with a first normal myocardial perfusion gated SPECT, various clinical factors and variables derived from the stress test affect the indication of a second gated SPECT and the presence of ischemia in the latter.

Resumen
Objetivo

El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar qué variables en el momento de la práctica de una gated-SPECT de perfusión miocárdica normal son predictoras de la indicación de una segunda gated-SPECT.

Material y métodos

Estudio unicéntrico, prospectivo de cohorte. Se incluyeron consecutivamente 2.326 pacientes (edad 63,6±13 años, 57,3% mujeres) sin defectos de perfusión y con una fracción de eyección del ventrículo izquierdo normal en una gated-SPECT de perfusión miocárdica estrés-reposo. Se estudiaron variables clínicas y ergométricas predictoras de la indicación de una nueva gated-SPECT y de la presencia de defectos reversibles de perfusión en esta última.

Resultados

Durante un seguimiento medio de 3,6±2 años después de una gated-SPECT normal se practicó una segunda gated-SPECT en 286 pacientes (12,3%). Las variables predictoras independientes que influyeron en la indicación de una segunda gated-SPECT fueron la presencia de 3o más factores de riesgo cardiovascular (χ2: 5501; HR: 1,4; p=0,019), el antecedente de infarto agudo de miocardio (χ2: 3862; HR: 1,4; p=0,049), la revascularización coronaria previa (χ2: 41,063; HR: 2,5; p<0,001), y una prueba de estrés positiva (χ2: 8699; HR: 1,5; p=0,003). La observación de defectos de perfusión en los 280 pacientes en que se realizó una segunda gated-SPECT de estrés-reposo fue más probable en pacientes de sexo masculino (χ2: 4,322; HR: 1,9; p=0,038) que realizaron una primera gated-SPECT farmacológica pura (χ2: 7,182; HR: 2,6; p=0,007).

Conclusiones

En los pacientes con una gated-SPECT de perfusión miocárdica normal diversos factores clínicos y variables derivadas de la prueba de estrés influyen en la indicación de una segunda gated-SPECT y en la presencia de isquemia en esta última.
