Feasibility of the absolute quantification and left ventricular segmentation of cardiac sympathetic innervation in wild-type transthyretin amyloidosis cardiomyopathy with [123I]-MIBG SPECT/CT: The I-NERVE study
Background
Cardiac sympathetic neuronal dysfunction is an early marker in wild-type transthyretin amyloidosis cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt-CM). Iodine-123-labeled norepinephrine analog meta-iodobenzylguanidine ([123I]-MIBG) imaging evaluates cardiac sympathetic innervation but lacks volumetric activity quantification in current methods. This study aims to quantify cardiac sympathetic neuronal dysfunction in ATTRwt-CM using [123I]-MIBG single-photon emission computed tomography/ computed tomography (SPECT/CT) and correlate findings with functional and structural cardiac parameters from echocardiogram and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR).
Methods
We conducted a single-center, descriptive, cross-sectional study to quantify absolute myocardial sympathetic function in ATTRwt-CM using [123I]-MIBG SPECT/CT. Retrospective reconstruction allowed for absolute tracer-uptake quantification of the left ventricle, overall and segmented, in kBq/mL, standard uptake value (SUV), and percentage of the injected dose (%ID). Echocardiography, CMR, and bone scintigraphy were performed according to clinical standards. Segmented [123I]-MIBG SPECT/CT values were correlated with global longitudinal systolic strain (GLSS) on echocardiography, native-T1, and extracellular volume (ECV) on CMR using SPECT/CT fused with CMR.
Results
Twenty-nine ATTRwt-CM patients (75.8 ± 6.6 years, 90% male) were prospectively included. All exhibited cardiac sympathetic neuronal dysfunction, with a median late heart-to-mediastinum ratio of 1.69 (1.45–1.89) and a washout rate of 22.7% (16.4%–27.3%). SUVmean, SUVpeak, SUVmax, and %ID were 1.80 ± .78, 3.84 ± 1.41, 4.46 ± 1.68, and .46 ± .18, respectively, correlating with semiquantitative [123I]-MIBG measures. No correlations were found with GLSS on echocardiography or native T1 and ECV on CMR.
Conclusions
The current study demonstrates the feasibility of volumetric quantification of [123I]–MIBG SPECT/CT in ATTRwt-CM. SUVmean, SUVpeak, SUVmax, and %ID correlate with semi-quantitative measures but not with key cardiac parameters on echocardiography or CMR. This confirms the sensitivity of [123I]-MIBG SPECT/CT to different aspects of cardiac function or pathology.

期刊介绍:
Journal of Nuclear Cardiology is the only journal in the world devoted to this dynamic and growing subspecialty. Physicians and technologists value the Journal not only for its peer-reviewed articles, but also for its timely discussions about the current and future role of nuclear cardiology. Original articles address all aspects of nuclear cardiology, including interpretation, diagnosis, imaging equipment, and use of radiopharmaceuticals. As the official publication of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, the Journal also brings readers the latest information emerging from the Society''s task forces and publishes guidelines and position papers as they are adopted.
