Abstract:Objective To investigate the guidance of phase analysis of SPECT/CT gated myocardial imaging in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) implantation and evaluate its long-term effect. Methods Thirty-seven cases who recieved CRT or CRT-defibrillator (CRTD) for chronic heart failure in our hospital from June 2009 to June 2014 were divided into reactive group and non-response group. The two groups of patients had phase analysis of SPECT/CT gated myocardial perfusion imaging six months after operation. Using phase analysis technique, left ventricular scar load was detected, left ventricular systolic synchrony indexes (peak phase, standard deviation of systolic phase time and bandwidth) were assessed, the differences of left ventricular scar load and synchronous indexes between the two groups were observed. Results The left ventricular scar load and the synchronization indexes including scar load, peak phase, the standard deviation of the systolic phase time and bandwidth were significantly different between both groups. Conclusions The phase analysis of SPECT/CT gated myocardial imaging can be used to evaluate the indications of CRT, the effect of prediction and the location of electrode placement. It is an important method of postoperative follow-up.
