MIBG is a guanethidine analog structurally similar to norepinephrine, and its myocardial uptake reflects the integrity of the cardiac postsynaptic sympathetic nervous system. In patients with New York ...

RATIONALE 123 I- meta -iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) (AdreView; GE HealthCare) is used to evaluate cardiac sympathetic innervation in patients with cardiac dysautonomias. MIBG is a guanethidine analog ...

At entry, all patients underwent cardiac MIBG imaging and 6-minute walk test. An intermediate decrease in heart-to-mediastinum ratio on delayed planar image (H/M) was defined as 1.40-1.89. During a ...

Abstract Background. We found an impairment of cardiac uptake of 123 I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG), an analogue of norepinephrine, on myocardial scintigraphy, in a small group of patients with ...

Objectives Reduced cardiac meta -iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) uptake and loss of cardiac sympathetic axons, as its possible anatomical substrate, were both recognised in Lewy body disease (LBD), while ...

The objective of the study is to use myocardial 123I-MIBG scintigraphy along with other clinical, neuropsychological, and neuroimaging findings to identify which patients with the following ...

The sympathetic nerves that innervate the parotid and submandibular glands are damaged in PD patients, mainly manifested by decreased MIBG uptake compared to NPD patients. 131 I-MIBG salivary gland ...

A freakish accident may explain the cause of the cardiac arrest that sent Damar Hamlin of the Buffalo Bills to the ground during a football game on Monday night, five cardiac experts said. It is ...
