18F-MFBG Cardiac Imaging for Heart Failure Administration

January 23, 2024 updated by: Hao Wang, Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital

18F-meta-fluorobenzylguanidine Cardiac Imaging for Evaluation of Chronic Heart Failure

The clinical feasibility of 18F-FMBG cardiac PET imaging will be observed in sympathetic nervous system activity in patients with heart failure, predicted cardiac events, guided ICD implantation, and evaluated therapy efficiency.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is a prospective, single-center clinical study, using18F-meta-fluorobenzylguanidine (18F-MFBG) cardiac PET imaging to present the sympathetic nerve status in heart failure, including ICD implantation. Through follow-up, we analyze the correlation between the distribution of the tracer in the heart and the functions and progression of the patients, including the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, And further investigate the guiding value of 18F-MFBG cardiac sympathetic nerve imaging in the screening of ICD implantation patients, including primary and secondary prevention, reducing the cost of ICD implantation and related complications. Furthermore, to evaluate the therapy efficacy for these patients with heart failure using 18F-MFBG cardiac imaging has been considered.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
observe the 18F-MFBG distribution of the myocardium in heart failure patients
Time Frame: 1 year
18F-MFBG PET cardiac sympathetic nerve imaging was performed after injection of 30 minutes and 3 hours. The imaging agent distribution of left ventricular walls was observed at three axis positions (short axis, horizontal long axis, and vertical long axis). Target heart maps (17 segments) were obtained using Cedars QPS software to obtain radiation distribution counts (SMSe, SMSlate).
