Assessment of radiological techniques application possibility for non-invasive diagnostics of latent inflammatory processes in myocardium in patients with atrial fibrillation.
    Annals of nuclear medicine, 2016, Volume: 30, Issue:10

    Aim was to study the performance of single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with. The research included 70 patients (the average age of 49.3 ± 10.2 years) with persistent form of idiopathic AF. All patients underwent myocardium SPECT with. Sensitivity of SPECT with. The study showed the possibility of successful application of radionuclide methods for diagnoses of chronic latent myocarditis at AF. Taking into account high informative values the results of scintigraphy can be also considered as a promising additional criteria for selecting patients with AF of unexplained etiology for non-invasive endomyocardial biopsy procedure.
