MethodsTotal 46 patients 29 males, mean age 64 years old were consecutively enrolled. Patients with prior myocardial infarction were excluded. MCE and Tc-99m sestamibi SPECT were performed at the same day during rest and after 0.56 or 0.84mg/Kg dipyridamole infusion. Continuous IV infusion of PESDA 25 ml/min was administered while obtaining triggered 11end-systolic apical 2, 4 chamber and long axis views. Tc-99m sestamibi was injected 3 minutes after dipyridamole. Tc-99m sestamibi SPECT images were obtained one hour later. Coronary angiography was followed within two days in all patients. Tc-99m sestamibi SPECT images were matched to the sixteen segments of left ventricle according to American Society of Echocardiography for segmental comparison. Both images were analyzed visually. ResultsUsing coronary angiography as the standard, MCE showed overall sensitivity of 70.7%, specificity of 95.8%, positive predictive value PPV of 87.8% and negative predictive value NPVof 88.5% in the detection of coronary atherosclerosis 70% stenosis. Tc-99m sestamibi SPECT showed sensitivity of 75.6%, specificity of 98.9%, PPV of 96.8% and NPV of 90.6%. The overall concordance rate between MCE and Tc- 99m sestamibi SPECT for the detection of perfusion defects was 86.9% Cohen s kappa value 0.63 according 793
to the coronary territory and 86.8% Cohen s kappa value 0.55 according to segmental analysis. Conclusion Dipyridamole stress IV MCE using pulse inversion harmonic imaging and PESDA is feasible and comparable to Tc-99m sestamibi SPECT in identifying significant coronary stenosis and inducible myocardial perfusion defects in the patients with coronary artery disease. MCE using pulse inversion harmonic imaging seems to be a promising modality for assessing myocardial perfusion in the patients with suspected coronary artery disease.

Fig. 4. Note the newly developed perfusion defects atthe territory of the left anterior descending artery after dipyridamole stress (middle) compared to the rest image (left). The simultaneous Tc-99m sestamibi SPECT showed apical and septal perfusion defects that were identical with those of MCE. 다른점은 두 검사법의 영상특성에 있다. Tc-99m sestamibi SPECT의 경우 공간해상도(spatial resolution) 가 낮아 좌심실 벽의 두께가 얇아지거나 수축기에 좌심 실 벽 운동장애가 있을 경우 관류결손이 과장되게 나타 난다.16) 실제로 좌심실 벽운동이상이 있으면서 심근조영 초음파검사에서 관류결손을 보인 경우에 SPECT와 진 단일치율이 높게 보고된 예가 있다.17) 두 검사법 모두 여 러 가지 원인에 의한 위양성(false defect)이 있을 수 있 는데 그 원인에 있어서는 차이가 있다. 동위원소 스캔은 주로 인접한 연부 조직때문에 발생하는 약화현상(attenuation)에 의한 위양성이지만,18) 심근조영 심초음파검사는 부적절한 초음파신호의 획득(gain), 초음파의 약화현상 (attenuation), 탐촉자에서 송신하는 초음파의 강도가 영 상야에 일정하게 전달되지 못하는 물리적인 특성, 미세기 포의 파괴 등에 의해 발생한다.19) 따라서 이러한 두 검사 법 사이의 근본적인 기전의 차이에 의해서 서로 다른 결과 를 보일 수 있어 그 결과가 일치하지 않을 수 있다. 성을 반영하는 반면,6) Tc-99m sestamibi는 미세혈관 외부로 확산되며 심근의 관류량에 비례하여 심근세포의 심근조영 심초음파검사와 Tc-99m sestamibi SPECT의 세포막을 통과한 후 세포내의 미토콘드리아에 축적되므 일치율 로15) 심근세포막의 온전성과 대사기능을 반영한다. 또 정맥 내 미세기포 주사후 시행한 심근조영초음파검 799
