ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the value of low-dose adenosine echocardiography (LDAE) for detection of myocardial viability in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Thirty-six patients underwent LDAE within 3 - 10 days after onset of first acute MI before (n = 4) or after (n = 32) percutaneous coronary intervention. A 17-segment semi-quantitative scoring model was adopted. Wall motion improvement derived from two dimensional images at follow-up (2 - 3 months after acute MI) comparing baseline before adenosine infusion was used as gold criteria for myocardial viability.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Low-dose adenosine slightly increased heart rates [(70.7 +/- 10.8) beats/min vs. (78.1 +/- 10.9) beats /min, P < 0.01] and also significantly reduced left ventricular endsystolic volume [(30.4 +/- 1.9) ml vs. (20.1 +/- 9.3) ml, P < 0.01] and increased ejection fraction (62.6% +/- 10.4% vs. 74.7% +/- 9.8%, P < 0.01). The sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic accuracy, positive and negative prective values of LDAE for identification of viable myocardium were 90.3%, 80.8%, 86.0%, 84.8% and 87.5%, respectively. Incidence of mild adverse reaction during LDAE was 38.9% (14/36). LDAE at dose of 100 microgxkg(-1)xmin(-1) was ideal in terms of balanced sensitivity and specificity for detecting viable myocardium without increasing the adverse effects compared to lower doses.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>LDAE (100 microgxkg(-1)xmin(-1)) has excellent sensitivity and specificity for detecting viable myocardium in acute MI with only minimal adverse effects.</p>
