Background— Moderate, regular alcohol consumption is generally associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular events but data in patients with chronic heart failure are scarce. We evaluated the relations between wine consumption, health status, circulating biomarkers, and clinical outcomes in a large Italian population of patients with chronic heart failure enrolled in a multicenter clinical trial. Methods and Results— A brief questionnaire on dietary habits was administered at baseline to 6973 patients enrolled in the Gruppo Italiano per lo Studio della Sopravvivenza nell’Insufficienza Cardiaca-Heart Failure (GISSI-HF) trial. The relations between wine consumption, fatal and nonfatal clinical end points, quality of life, symptoms of depression, and circulating biomarkers of cardiac function and inflammation (in subsets of patients) were evaluated with simple and multivariable-adjusted statistical models. Almost 56% of the patients reported drinking at least 1 glass of wine per day. After adjustment, clinical outcomes were not significantly different in the predefined 4 groups of wine consumption. However, patients with more frequent wine consumption had a significantly better perception of health status (Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire score, adjusted P P =0.01), and lower plasma levels of biomarkers of vascular inflammation (osteoprotegerin and C-terminal proendothelin-1, adjusted P P =0.01) after adjusting for possible confounders. Conclusions— We show for the first time in a large cohort of patients with chronic heart failure that moderate wine consumption is associated with a better perceived and objective health status, lower prevalence of depression, and less vascular inflammation, but does not translate into more favorable clinical 4-year outcomes.

We tested the usefulness of a sustained intravenous infusion of nifedipine and a combination of nifedipine and metoprolol in the early management of 14 patients with unstable angina pectoris. After a 24-hour run-in period, nifedipine was titrated in a stepwise fashion (mean dose 27 +/- 7 micrograms/min). After nifedipine treatment coronary blood flow increased from 150 +/- 66 to 183 +/- 74 ml/min (p less than 0.05), whereas double product, myocardial oxygen consumption, and both arterial and coronary sinus (nor)epinephrine levels were unchanged. Myocardial lactate uptake increased from 3.4 +/- 26.1 to 31.3 +/- 26.6 mumol/min (p less than 0.005) and free fatty acid uptake from 7.2 +/- 22.1 to 34.5 +/- 33.7 mumol/min (p less than 0.05). A small nonsignificant improvement in amino acid metabolism was observed. Metoprolol was added in seven patients and led to a decrease in double product (-2.2 +/- 1.6 x 10(3); p less than 0.01) and myocardial oxygen consumption (-3.2 +/- 3.8 ml/min; p less than 0.05). The lactate uptake/oxygen uptake ratio increased by 18% after metoprolol (p = NS). The number of episodes of chest pain decreased from 2.4 +/- 1.1/24 hours to 0.1 +/- 0.2 in the nifedipine group and from 2.9 +/- 1.1/24 hours to 0.3 +/- 0.5 in the nifedipine plus metoprolol group (both p less than 0.01). We conclude that in the acute phase of unstable angina, intravenous nifedipine can be carefully titrated to improve coronary blood flow and oxidative metabolism. The addition of metoprolol is also associated with a reduction in myocardial oxygen demand. This treatment results in significant hemodynamic stability.

BACKGROUND: Current fibrinolytic therapies fail to achieve optimum reperfusion in many patients. Low-molecular-weight heparins and platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors have shown the potential to improve pharmacological reperfusion therapy. We did a randomised, open-label trial to compare the efficacy and safety of tenecteplase plus enoxaparin or abciximab, with that of tenecteplase plus weight-adjusted unfractionated heparin in patients with acute myocardial infarction. METHODS: 6095 patients with acute myocardial infarction of less than 6 h were randomly assigned one of three regimens: full-dose tenecteplase and enoxaparin for a maximum of 7 days (enoxaparin group; n=2040), half-dose tenecteplase with weight-adjusted low-dose unfractionated heparin and a 12-h infusion of abciximab (abciximab group; n=2017), or full-dose tenecteplase with weight-adjusted unfractionated heparin for 48 h (unfractionated heparin group; n=2038). The primary endpoints were the composites of 30-day mortality, in-hospital reinfarction, or in-hospital refractory ischaemia (efficacy endpoint), and the above endpoint plus in-hospital intracranial haemorrhage or in-hospital major bleeding complications (efficacy plus safety endpoint). Analysis was by intention to treat. FINDINGS: There were significantly fewer efficacy endpoints in the enoxaparin and abciximab groups than in the unfractionated heparin group: 233/2037 (11.4%) versus 315/2038 (15.4%; relative risk 0.74 [95% CI 0.63-0.87], p=0.0002) for enoxaparin, and 223/2017 (11.1%) versus 315/2038 (15.4%; 0.72 [0.61-0.84], p

AIMS To compare the efficacy and safety of lanoteplase, a single-bolus thrombolytic drug derived from alteplase tissue plasminogen activator, with the established accelerated alteplase regimen in patients presenting within 6 h of onset of ST elevation acute myocardial infarction. METHODS AND RESULTS 15,078 patients were recruited from 855 hospitals worldwide and randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either lanoteplase 120 KU. kg(-1)as a single intravenous bolus, or up to 100 mg accelerated alteplase given over 90 min. The primary end-point was all-cause mortality at 30 days and the hypothesis was that the two treatments would be equivalent. By 30 days, 6.61% of alteplase-treated patients and 6.75% lanoteplase-treated patients had died (relative risk 1.02). Total stroke occurred in 1.53% alteplase- and 1.87% lanoteplase-treated patients (ns); haemorrhagic stroke rates were 0.64% alteplase and 1.12% lanoteplase (P=0.004). The net clinical deficit of 30-day death or non-fatal disabling stroke was 7.0% and 7.2%, respectively. By 6 months, 8.8% of alteplase-treated patients and 8.7% of lanoteplase-treated patients had died. CONCLUSION Single-bolus weight-adjusted lanoteplase is an effective thrombolytic agent, equivalent to alteplase in terms of its impact on survival and with a comparable risk-benefit profile. The single-bolus regimen should shorten symptoms to treatment times and be especially convenient for emergency department or out-of-hospital administration.

This study examined the imaging results and kinetics of technetium 99m teboroxime after its intracoronary injection during papaverine-induced coronary hyperemia in patients with one-vessel disease before and after coronary angioplasty. Thirteen patients withor = 90% diameter stenosis of either the left anterior descending or the left circumflex coronary artery were included. Two patients were excluded because of ventricular tachycardia during papaverine injection in one patient and unsuccessful angioplasty in the second patient. One mCi of technetium 99m teboroxime was injected into the left main coronary artery during coronary hyperemia induced by intracoronary injection of papaverine. Dynamic acquisition in a frame mode (20 sec/frame) was performed for 5 minutes in the left anterior oblique projection with a multicrystal gamma camera before and after successful angioplasty. Ischemic:normal count ratio increased from 0.75 +/- 0.4 before to 1.00 +/- 0.50 after angioplasty (p0.1). The T 1/2 of teboroxime was 6.5 +/- 1.5 min in the normal zone and 7.2 +/- 1.9 min in the ischemic zone (p, NS). Perfusion defects were visible in the territory of the stenosed coronary artery in 9 of 11 patients before angioplasty and in 7 of 11 patients after angioplasty. The image quality was excellent in all studies. Thus this study shows that performing dynamic imaging with intracoronary injection of technetium 99m teboroxime is feasible. This technique may be useful to study the impact of angioplasty on coronary flow and tracer kinetics.

Thirty patients (26 men, 4 women, mean age 61 +/- 8 years) who had suffered myocardial infarction 15 +/- 6 months previously, were submitted to (1) standard stress-redistribution thallium-201 single photon emission tomography (SPET), (2) rest-redistribution 201T1 SPET and (3) stress-rest technetium-99m sestamibi SPET. Uptake modifications in relation to exercise-induced defects were evaluated in a total of 390 myocardial segments. Tracer uptake was scored as normal (=0), mildly reduced (=1), apparently reduced (=2), severely reduced (=3) or absent (=4). Comparison of stress studies failed to show any statistical difference (58% segmental abnormalities with sestamibi vs 61% with thallium). Uptake abnormalities (score 1-4) were detected in 55% of the segments with sestamibi, 55% with standard thallium redistribution, 55% with early imaging after thallium injection at rest and 54% with 3-h delayed rest imaging (P = NS). Absence of tracer uptake (score = 4) under resting conditions was recorded in 75 (19%) segments with standard 201T1 redistribution, 75 (19%) with rest sestamibi, 70 (18%) with rest 201T1 imaging and 62 (16%) with rst-redistribuion 201T1 (P0.05 vs other imaging modalities). Thus, 3-h delayed rest thallium imaging detected reversibility of uptake defects in a significantly higher number of myocardial segments. This finding might have important implications for both tracer and technique selection when myocardial viability is the main clinical issue.

- Abstract
Among the various treatments adopted to protect the acutely ischaemic myocardium, favourable results have been reported for beta-blockers. Nitrates can also reasonably be expected to exert favourable effects in acute myocardial infarction considering their haemodynamic action. In this study we compared the haemodynamic effect of metoprolol alone with the effect of metoprolol plus nitroglycerin. Fourteen patients, admitted within 12 hours from the clinical onset of acute myocardial infarction, were initially given intravenous metoprolol (5 + 5 + 5 mg) followed 15 minutes later by an additional 50 mg oral dose. Thereafter, they were randomly allocated to a treatment with metoprolol alone (Group 1) or metoprolol plus intravenous nitroglycerin (Group 2). The two groups were comparable with regard to age, sex, time to admission, time to therapy, site of necrosis, Killip class, and infarct size. Acute betablockade induced a marked decrease of cardiac output, systolic blood pressure and heart rate along with a small increase of pulmonary wedge pressure and a marked systemic vasoconstriction. In Group 1 patients these haemodynamic changes persisted up to twelve hours after randomization; in Group 2 patients the addition of nitroglycerin induced a prompt decrease of pulmonary wedge pressure and peripheral vascular resistance whereas the double product was unchanged. In conclusion, intravenous nitroglycerin induces a beneficial haemodynamic effect after early betablockade with metoprolol. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The hemodynamic and clinical profiles of gallopamil, a new calcium antagonist, were evaluated in 20 patients with severe coronary artery disease in a placebo-controlled, single-blind study. The patients were divided into 2 groups depending on baseline ejection fraction (greater than 45 or less than or equal to 45%) and underwent nuclear ventriculography, both at rest and during bicycle exercise under electrocardiographic monitoring, after 3 weeks of therapy (50 mg 3 times daily) and the 1-week run in and washout placebo periods. The mean anginal weekly frequency per patient was significantly reduced, from 3.4 to 0.5 (p less than 0.001). The left ventricular ejection fraction, cardiac volumes, ejection and filling indexes at rest and for the same workload were not altered in the population as a whole or in each of the 2 groups. The rate pressure product during exercise was reduced for the same workload from 18.0 +/- 5.0 X 10(3) to 16.8 +/- 4.7 X 10(3), while the regional ejection fraction in ischemic regions was not significantly changed. Individual variations of ventriculographic parameters in both groups were not related to basal values. Gallopamil increased the total duration of exercise from 432 +/- 201 to 537 +/- 188 s (p less than 0.001). Six patients did not complain of angina and their exercise was interrupted because of muscular weakness. The hemodynamic and clinical responses did not differ when the results in the population as a whole and in each of the 2 groups were compared. Gallopamil was effective and well tolerated, even in patients with very depressed cardiac function.

We studied ventricular volumes and ejection fraction by radionuclide angiography (equilibrium technique) in 15 patients (aged 3–48 years) with double inlet ventricle not yet submitted to corrective surgery. The end-diastolic volume (measured in nine cases) ranged from 108 to 219 ml/m 2 (156 ± 32), being lower than the normal theoretical value (right plus left ventricle) in six cases. Ejection fraction ranged from 30 to 77% (56.4 ± 13). The value was significantly higher in the subgroup of 10 patients with a dominant left ventricle as compared to the five cases with dominant right or indeterminate ventricular morphology (63.2 ± 8.3 versus 42.8 ± 9, P 2 , from 58 ± 16 to 56 ± 24 ml/m 2 , from 100 ± 27 to 90 ± 24 ml/m 2 , from 64% ± 9 to 61% ± 13). During exercise, ventricular volumes mostly behaved as follows: slight reduction of end-systolic volume, decrease of end-diastolic volume, no increase (no change or decrease) of ejection fraction. In the small group studied, we can conclude that: end-diastolic ventricular volume varies considerably; basal ejection fraction is significantly lower when the ventricular morphology is of right or indeterminate type; in most patients with double inlet left ventricle, the ejection fraction is normal at rest but does not increase during dynamic exercise; during effort no recruitment of pre-load reserve (Frank-Starling mechanism) takes place and this partly accounts for the abnormal behaviour of ejection fraction.

- Abstract
1. The sodium concentration in lymphocytes was measured in a group of 66 normotensive subjects (40 without familial hypertension and 26 with familial hypertension), in a group of 81 patients with essential hypertension and in a group of 14 patients with secondary hypertension. 2. The mean value (±sd) in normotensive subjects with no history of familial hypertension was 21.9 ± 3.1 mmol/kg wet weight, which was significantly lower (P < 0.005) than that of normotensive subjects with familial hypertension (mean value 27.9 ± 4.2 mmol/kg). Lymphocyte sodium concentration was significantly higher in patients with essential hypertension (33.2 ± 3.3 mmol/kg; P < 0.001) than in the subjects with normal blood pressure without familial hypertension. 3. In the patients with essential hypertension there was a significant correlation between lymphocyte sodium concentration and systolic (P < 0.005), diastolic (P < 0.001) and mean (P < 0.001) blood pressure. In the normotensive subjects there was no correlation between the lymphocyte sodium concentration and the blood pressure. 4. The patients with secondary forms of hypertension had normal lymphocyte sodium concentration, except in the case of Conn's disease. 5. Incubation with ouabain increased lymphocyte sodium concentration in the normotensive subjects and patients with essential hypertension; the final sodium concentration was similar in the two groups. 6. When lymphocytes from normotensive subjects without familial hypertension were incubated in plasma of patients with essential hypertension there was an increase in their sodium content.

The absence of electrocardiographic changes during angina is an unusual occurrence. In 15 male patients with exercise-induced angina, the electrocardiogram failed to show the usual ischemic ST-T changes. The exercise thallium-201 myocardial imaging was employed as indicator of the ischemia and the results were correlated with coronary angiographic findings. The exercise thallium-201 myocardial imaging showed an exercise-induced reversible defect in 14 patients and a fixed defect in the remaining 1. Out of 15 patients, 13 had defects involving the infero-apical, posterior and postero-lateral segments. The coronary angiography, performed in all patients but 2, showed single-vessel coronary artery disease in 8 patients and double-vessel disease in 5. A significant circumflex or right coronary artery stenosis was found in all cases except 1; 2 patients had a coexistent left anterior descending coronary artery stenosis and 1 an isolated stenosis of this vessel. It is concluded that the myocardial scintigraphy is useful to assess the ischemic myocardial origin of chest pain in the absence of ST-T changes. The silence of the electrocardiogram might be due to the production of ischemia in not well explored areas, such as the inferior and posterior myocardial segments, and possibly to a smaller extension of ischemia.

The effects of coronary artery revascularization and perioperative myocardial infarction on left ventricular wall motion are still controversial. In this study perioperative myocardial infarction was quantitatively estimated with the cumulative activity of the CK-MB isoenzyme in the perioperative period in a group of 77 consecutive patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery. After the operation (on average 9 +/- 1.8 months) all the patients were submitted to left ventricular and coronary angiography. Overall the global left ventricular ejection fraction was unchanged after the operation. The subgroup of patients with all patent grafts showed an improvement of both regional wall motion (P less than 0.05) and ejection fraction (from 58 +/- 13 to 64 +/- 13%, P less than 0.005); the number of angiographically abnormal left ventricular segments decreased from 28.5 to 16.6% (P less than 0.001). The cumulative activity of CK-MB enzyme was significantly correlated with the pre- and postoperative changes of ejection fraction (r = -0.51, P less than 0.01). Thus coronary artery bypass surgery can improve regional wall motion, but the likely benefit is observed in the absence of a perioperative myocardial ischemic damage.

Background The independent prognostic impact of diabetes mellitus ( DM ) and prediabetes mellitus (pre‐ DM ) on survival outcomes in patients with chronic heart failure has been investigated in observational registries and randomized, clinical trials, but the results have been often inconclusive or conflicting. We examined the independent prognostic impact of DM and pre‐ DM on survival outcomes in the GISSI ‐HF (Gruppo Italiano per lo Studio della Sopravvivenza nella Insufficienza Cardiaca‐Heart Failure) trial. Methods and Results We assessed the risk of all‐cause death and the composite of all‐cause death or cardiovascular hospitalization over a median follow‐up period of 3.9 years among the 6935 chronic heart failure participants of the GISSI ‐ HF trial, who were stratified by presence of DM (n=2852), pre‐ DM (n=2013), and non‐ DM (n=2070) at baseline. Compared with non‐ DM patients, those with DM had remarkably higher incidence rates of all‐cause death (34.5% versus 24.6%) and the composite end point (63.6% versus 54.7%). Conversely, both event rates were similar between non‐ DM patients and those with pre‐ DM . Cox regression analysis showed that DM , but not pre‐ DM , was associated with an increased risk of all‐cause death (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.43; 95% CI , 1.28–1.60) and of the composite end point (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.23; 95% CI , 1.13–1.32), independently of established risk factors. In the DM subgroup, higher hemoglobin A1c was also independently associated with increased risk of both study outcomes (all‐cause death: adjusted hazard ratio, 1.21; 95% CI , 1.02–1.43; and composite end point: adjusted hazard ratio, 1.14; 95% CI , 1.01–1.29, respectively). Conclusions Presence of DM was independently associated with poor long‐term survival outcomes in patients with chronic heart failure. Clinical Trial Registration URL : http://www.clinicaltrials.gov .

- Abstract
Unlabelled: Because thallium kinetics, like potassium kinetics, may be affected by serum insulin levels, we performed two pilot studies to identify severely ischemic myocardium using different protocols based on the infusion of a thallium, insulin, potassium and glucose solution. Results were compared with those obtained with two currently used protocols based on rest injection or reinjection of 201Tl., Methods: In the first study (Protocol 1) of 15 men with a previous large myocardial infarction, perfusion was evaluated by SPECT in 20 segments after a 30-min infusion of 201Tl (111 MBq), insulin (5 U) and potassium (10 mEq) in 10% glucose solution (250 ml). Imaging was repeated 30 min later and the results were compared with those obtained from stress and 3-hr reinjection images. In the second study (Protocol 2), 15 patients were evaluated randomly at rest and 3 hr later (rest-redistribution). On a separate day, the patients were then re-evaluated after infusion of 201Tl (111 MBq), potassium (10 mEq) and insulin (5 U) in 5% glucose (250 ml); images were obtained 90 and 180 min postinjection., Results: In Protocol 1, radiotracer activity in segments with no uptake during stress was detected in 35% with the reinjection technique and 58% with the insulin solution protocol. In Protocol 2, 31% of segments revealed thallium activity after insulin infusion but not at rest or rest-redistribution. Serum measurements showed high insulin levels (444 +/- 138 in Protocol 1, 125 +/- 33 mU/ml in Protocol 2), although glucose levels were not significantly altered (149 +/- 32 versus 71 +/- 20 mg/dl, respectively). Potassemia was not affected and the patients tolerated the tests satisfactorily., Conclusion: These results confirm that continuous infusion of 201Tl with a low dose of insulin in a glucose/potassium chloride solution is safe and may enhance cellular uptake of the radiotracer in severe ischemic regions, thereby improving viable myocardium detection.

- Abstract
We refer a case of a 57-year-old woman with an acute myocardial infarction of the anterior wall, treated with rt-PA, aspirin and heparin. In the following days, in spite of the therapy, occurred a second acute myocardial infarction of the inferior wall complicated with ventricular fibrillation. Coronary angiography showed multiple coronary dissection involving the left anterior descending and the circumflex coronary arteries. The characteristic feature of this case consists of the multiple coronary dissection responsible for myocardial infarctions, an event seldom reported in the literature.

- Abstract
The present study was undertaken to compare four different imaging approaches to evaluate uptake defect reversibility. 24 infarcted patients underwent standard stress/redistribution 201Tl imaging (R1). Then, after reinjection of 37 MBq of 201Tl, patients were re-imaged either after 15 min (R2) 24 h later (R3). A separate rest study (R4) following a new tracer injection was done within 2-3 days. Planar images were obtained in the standard three views and subdivided into 216 segments for qualitative analysis based on a visual score. A semiquantitative analysis based upon circumferential profiles was also applied. A stress defect was found in 127 segments (58.7%). By visual inspection reperfusion was considered to occur in 32.3%, 41.7%, 33.0% and 49.6% of the cases with R1, R2, R3, and R4, respectively. The semiquantitative method showed a high reperfusion only with R1 (62%), while the other procedures proved less effective. No improvement was found with R4. Six patients (25%) showed myocardial viability that was not detected with the early reinjection technique.

- Abstract
Thirty patients (26 men, 4 women, mean age 61 +/- 8 years) who had suffered myocardial infarction 15 +/- 6 months previously, were submitted to (1) standard stress-redistribution thallium-201 single photon emission tomography (SPET), (2) rest-redistribution 201T1 SPET and (3) stress-rest technetium-99m sestamibi SPET. Uptake modifications in relation to exercise-induced defects were evaluated in a total of 390 myocardial segments. Tracer uptake was scored as normal (=0), mildly reduced (=1), apparently reduced (=2), severely reduced (=3) or absent (=4). Comparison of stress studies failed to show any statistical difference (58% segmental abnormalities with sestamibi vs 61% with thallium). Uptake abnormalities (score 1-4) were detected in 55% of the segments with sestamibi, 55% with standard thallium redistribution, 55% with early imaging after thallium injection at rest and 54% with 3-h delayed rest imaging (P = NS). Absence of tracer uptake (score = 4) under resting conditions was recorded in 75 (19%) segments with standard 201T1 redistribution, 75 (19%) with rest sestamibi, 70 (18%) with rest 201T1 imaging and 62 (16%) with rst-redistribuion 201T1 (P < 0.05 vs other imaging modalities). Thus, 3-h delayed rest thallium imaging detected reversibility of uptake defects in a significantly higher number of myocardial segments. This finding might have important implications for both tracer and technique selection when myocardial viability is the main clinical issue.

- Abstract
The clinical, electrocardiographic, and scintigraphic effects of oral administration of nisoldipine were investigated using two separate study protocols. In the first, the acute effects of nisoldipine were evaluated by means of nuclear ventricolography and demonstrated no deleterious effects on global contractility and an amelioration of several hypokinetic segments. In the second protocol, myocardial perfusion effects were evaluated by means of tomoscintigraphy. An improvement of segmental uptake of thallium was caused by nisoldipine. The addition of atenolol markedly reduced the rate-pressure product and further improved myocardial perfusion.

- Abstract
Different techniques have been suggested for coronary artery disease (CAD) detection with single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and 99mTc-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (99mTc-MIBI). We evaluated four protocols employing myocardial SPECT with 99mTc-MIBI in separate groups of patients. The first involved stress and rest studies performed on separate days, whereas the other three involved "same day" studies. Group 1 (n = 23) was examined in separate sessions, after ergometric exercise and at rest. Group 2 (n = 24) was first injected after dipyridamole infusion, then injected again at rest after completion of the stress study. Group 3 (n = 24) was first injected at rest and imaged one hour later. Afterwards an ergometric stress was performed, with injection at peak exercise. The inverse sequence was adopted for group 4 (n = 24). All patients underwent coronary angiography. For all groups and vessels, the sensitivity and specificity for diseased coronary artery identification were not statistically different. Studies using the new myocardial perfusion tracer 99mTc-MIBI may therefore be completed on the same day or on separate days according to laboratory and patient needs. Dipyridamole iv infusion proved to be as effective as ergometric exercise for diseased coronary artery identification.

- Abstract
A same-day double injection protocol employing 99mTc-methoxyisobutyl isonitrile (MIBI) and myocardial single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) for detecting coronary artery disease (CAD) was assessed in 30 patients. SPECT was performed 1 hr after a first injection (250 MBq) of 99mTc-MIBI, given after 0.56 mg/kg dipyridamole (DPD) infusion. Patients were then reinjected at rest (750 MBq) and were reimaged 1 hr later. Within 1 wk, all patients underwent a complete stress-rest SPECT thallium study. Of the 330 myocardial segments evaluated, 25 were judged ischemic by both techniques, while persistent defects were demonstrated in 50 and in 47 with 99mTc-MIBI and 201TI, respectively. Six regions were considered for diseased vessels identification. Sensitivity and specificity for CAD were 100% and 75%, respectively, for both 201TI and 99mTc-MIBI. Sensitivity for identification of diseased vessels by 201TI was 68% for LAD, 89% for RCA, and 80% for LCX as opposed to 75%, 89% and 80%, respectively, by 99mTc-MIBI. Specificity was 93% in both cases for LAD, 73% and 63% for RCA, and 53% and 46% for LCX.

- Abstract
We tested the usefulness of a sustained intravenous infusion of nifedipine and a combination of nifedipine and metoprolol in the early management of 14 patients with unstable angina pectoris. After a 24-hour run-in period, nifedipine was titrated in a stepwise fashion (mean dose 27 +/- 7 micrograms/min). After nifedipine treatment coronary blood flow increased from 150 +/- 66 to 183 +/- 74 ml/min (p less than 0.05), whereas double product, myocardial oxygen consumption, and both arterial and coronary sinus (nor)epinephrine levels were unchanged. Myocardial lactate uptake increased from 3.4 +/- 26.1 to 31.3 +/- 26.6 mumol/min (p less than 0.005) and free fatty acid uptake from 7.2 +/- 22.1 to 34.5 +/- 33.7 mumol/min (p less than 0.05). A small nonsignificant improvement in amino acid metabolism was observed. Metoprolol was added in seven patients and led to a decrease in double product (-2.2 +/- 1.6 x 10(3); p less than 0.01) and myocardial oxygen consumption (-3.2 +/- 3.8 ml/min; p less than 0.05). The lactate uptake/oxygen uptake ratio increased by 18% after metoprolol (p = NS). The number of episodes of chest pain decreased from 2.4 +/- 1.1/24 hours to 0.1 +/- 0.2 in the nifedipine group and from 2.9 +/- 1.1/24 hours to 0.3 +/- 0.5 in the nifedipine plus metoprolol group (both p less than 0.01). We conclude that in the acute phase of unstable angina, intravenous nifedipine can be carefully titrated to improve coronary blood flow and oxidative metabolism. The addition of metoprolol is also associated with a reduction in myocardial oxygen demand. This treatment results in significant hemodynamic stability.

- Abstract
Radionuclide imaging with thallium-201 is widely accepted for identifying the presence and the severity of coronary artery disease, but this radiotracer is hampered by some limitations (low-energy photons and long physical half-life) and by delivering difficulties. Therefore, various technetium 99m-labelled compounds have been proposed as myocardial perfusion agents. In particular, technetium 99m methoxy isobutyl isonitrile (Tc99m-MIBI) showed the most favourable characteristics for clinical applications. Recently a study protocol involving a split dose of the radiocompound injected in the same day has been proposed. The aim of this work has been to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of this procedure coupled with tomographic study (SPECT-MIBI) in a group of patients with documented coronary artery disease and to compare the results with those obtained by means of Tl-201 tomographic studies (SPECT-Tl) in the same patient group. Twenty-four patients, 21 males and 3 females, entered the study: the mean age was 57 +/- 6 years (44-71). For the rest study the patients were given 250 MBq of Tc99m-MIBI. Then, after 2-3 hours, they were reinjected with a second dose of 750 MBq when exercise endpoints were reached. The studies with Tl-201 were carried out the week before or subsequent the Tc99m-MIBI studies. Sensitivity was 88% with SPECT-Tl and 78% with SPECT-MIBI for the anterior descending artery (LAD), 86% and 64% respectively for right coronary artery disease (RCA) and 69% with both procedures for the left circumflex artery (LCX). Specificity was 88% with SPECT-Tl and 78% with SPECT-MIBI LAD, 60% with both procedures for RCA and 55% and 81% respectively for LCX. Coronary artery disease, involving 2 or more vessels, was correctly identified in 93% of patients by Tl-201 studies and only in 60% of patients by Tc99m-MIBI. In several cases the high count rate obtained by Tc99m-MIBI did not allow the identification of hypoperfused segments. In conclusion, a rest-stress double injection of Tc99m-MIBI in a same-day protocol has shown a lower sensitivity for detecting coronary lesions than Tl-201. Moreover, radiation exposure for medical and technical staff is greater with Tc99m-MIBI than with Tl-201.

Regional left ventricular ejection fraction calculated by means of gated blood pool scintigraphy was compared with that obtained from contrast ventriculography in a group of 20 patients, submitted to both procedures within a month. To evaluate repeatability both at rest and during stress, a second scintigraphic study was carried out after three weeks, with no change in drug regimen. Inter-observer variability was assessed in a randomly selected subgroup of 16 patients, in whom a computation was repeated by a second operator. Comparison of scintigraphic results showed a satisfactory agreement, and measurement agreement for global left ventricular ejection fraction was very good. As regards interobserver variability, each of the three myocardial segments examined (septal, lateral and infero-apical) showed good agreement. As regards repeatability, global left ventricular ejection fraction, proved readily reproducible both for rest and stress studies, with relatively small differences in observed values. Regional ejection fraction, on the other hand, had a high variability, especially during stress. It is suggested that for regional ejection fraction evaluation, reproducibility studies should be performed in order to better correlate result changes to clinical outcome after medical or surgical therapy.

- Abstract
Myocardial perfusion imaging with 201Tl and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) was carried out in two groups of patients, subsequently submitted to diagnostic coronary angiography. SPECT was performed in group 1 (41 patients) after slow i.v. infusion of dipyridamole and in group 2 (162 patients) after tracer injection at maximal ergometric exercise. To evaluate the diagnostic capability of SPECT in the detection of diseased coronary vessels, the left ventricular myocardium was subdivided into 6 segments related to the three major coronary arteries. Sensitivity for the left anterior descending artery was 77% in group 1 and 79% in group 2; specificity was 80% and 96%, respectively. Sensitivity for the right coronary artery was 91% in group 1 and 85% in group 2; specificity was 81% and 73%. For the left circumflex artery sensitivity was 65% for group 1 and 67% for group 2, while specificity was 89% and 88%, respectively. Myocardial SPECT results after ergometric exercise and dipyridamole infusion turned out to be almost superimposable. Dipyridamole stress might be considered appropriate as a provocative test when physical exercise cannot be carried out.

- Abstract
The K-sparing effects of amiloride (A) and triamterene (T) associated with tienilic acid (C) are studied, along with their effects on diuresis and on the urinary excretion of uric acid, Mg, Na, Cl, P, and Ca. Eighteen hospitalized patients, divided into two groups of nine, received the following dosages of the drugs. The first group took 250 mg of C (equivalent to 50 mg hydrochlorothiazide), 5 mg of A and 100 mg of T; the second received double doses of both A and T but the same dose of C. Each treatment was administered on 2 not necessarily consecutive days, so as to have a total of 6 days of treatment per patient according to a balanced randomized design identical for the two groups. The data were obtained from urine collected during the first 8 h after the drug was administered, and during the following 16 h. A and T showed a significant K-sparing effect (p less than 0.01) only for the second group, and only at the higher dosages were minor effects on the urinary excretion of uric acid, Mg, and Cl noted (p less than 0.05). The association of A or T with C was well tolerated, and no important side effects were observed.
