AB0713 Myocardial perfusion and equilibrium radioisotope ventriculography in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome as a scrutiny method for the detection of asymptomatic cardiomyopathy
Abstract:Background
The prevalence of myocardial perfusion alterations in autoimmune diseases has been estimated by previous studies at 40%. There is no consensus on the scrutiny of cardiovascular alterations in patients with Antiphospholipid Syndrome.
Objectives
To evaluate the existence and seriousness of ischemic cardiomyopathy or asymptomatic ventricular dysfunction in a group of patients with primary or secondary Antiphospholipid Syndrome using 99Tc MIBI Gated-SPECT and equilibrium radioisotope ventriculography.
