FAPI-SPECT reveals damage to myocardium after heart attack
By Will Morton
Technetium-99m (Tc-99m) FAPI-SPECT shows promise as a tool for assessing cellular and structural changes in the myocardium after heart attack.
July 16, 2024
Emergency percutaneous coronary intervention images, Tc-99m MIBI perfusion images and Tc-99m FAPI images of STEMI patients. In STEMI patients, there is a localized yet inhomogeneous uptake of Tc-99m FAPI. Notably, the extent of Tc-99m FAPI uptake significantly surpasses the area of perfusion defects. Despite similarities in coronary artery lesions (culprit vessels identified as the left anterior descending artery in image A and the right coronary artery in image B, white arrows), and comparable myocardial perfusion impairment, patients with larger Tc-99m FAPI uptake areas exhibit ventricular remodeling.
