Studies performed in subgroups of those with CFS suggest cardiac sympathetic denervation. Meta-iodo-benzylguanidine (MIBG) imaging provides a quantitative measure of cardiac sympathetic innervation. Clinically, cardiac MIBG scanning is used to estimate local myocardial sympathetic nerve damage in heart disease and dysautonomia, particularly abnormalities arising due to sympathetic innervation [1,2]. In this study, we explored potential mechanisms that underpin the autonomic abnormalities seen in CFS using I125 MIBG participants that fulfilled Fukuda diagnostic criteria for CFS [3]. Participants were excluded if screened positive for a major depressive episode (Structured Clinical Interview for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders). Fatigue was measured using the Fatigue Impact Scale (FIS). Autonomic function was measured continuously during 10 minute supine rest using the Taskforce Monitor (CNSystems; Graz, Austria) to derive heart rate and blood pressure variability and baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) (spectral analysis and the autoregressive model). Low frequency (LF) and high frequency (HF) bands were reported for heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure variability and LF/HF ratio. These variability indices reflect autonomic control, with greater HF values reflecting greater vagal (parasympathetic) modulation and higher LF values indicating predominantly sympathetic modulation. The LF/HF ratio has been argued to capture ‘sympathovagal balance’ and higher values suggest greater sympathetic dominance [4]. Myocardial innervation imaging with Iodine-123-meta-iodo-benzylguanidine (123 I-MIBG) scintigraphy provides a non-invasive tool for the investigation of cardiac sympathetic innervation. MIBG is an analogue of guanethidine and is taken up by the post-ganglionic presynaptic nerve endings of the adrenergic nervous system. After depolarisation, MIBG is released into the synaptic cleft like noradrenaline but is not metabolised. Labelling MIBG with iodine-123 (123-I) permits visualisation of adrenergic innervation in vivo [5]. During the scintigraphic method of myocardial imaging 123-I-MIBG is intravenously administered at rest and imaging is performed after 10–30 minutes. Planar images with anterior views are used to evaluate cardiac sympathetic function. Regions of interest are set in the heart and mediastinum to obtain mean counts in each, after which H/M ratios are calculated to provide a degree of accumulation in the heart. Upper limit of normal is defined as &lt;2.6. Increased sympathetic activity is associated with a low myocardial MIBG. Statistical analysis was performed using GraphPad PRISM. Nine CFS subjects underwent MIBG. Mean ± SD age 51 ± 6.7 with five females. Length of history was 17 ± 11 years (range 7–28).
