In all, 142 scans were performed in 20 patients and were arranged in 3 groups that represent respectively all controls performed to the transplants (G1), and a selection of the scans obtained during the 1st rejection episode in each patient (G2) and the 2nd if present (G3). A heart/lung index was calculated through early and late images (IA, IB), obtained 5 min and 4 h post injection of thallium. A decrease in IA was detected during acute rejection in all groups. This fall was statistically significant from the mild to moderate rejection degree in G1 (P < 0.01), and the mild rejection in G3 (P < 0.001). IB was not modified with rejection. Comparing the biopsies with and without edema, in the absence of rejection, it has been proved that the intra myocardial edema can produce a decrease in IA (P < 0.001). We conclude that IA is a simple and sensitive index to evaluate the graft, although intra myocardial edema can reduce its specificity Springer-Verlag, 1990 Rejection nationallicence Heart transplant nationallicence Thallium nationallicence Intra myocardial edema nationallicence Richter José Departments of Nuclear Medicine and Cardiovascular Surgery, Clinica Universitaria de Navarra, E-31080, Pamplona, Spain aut Herreros Jesús Departments of Nuclear Medicine and Cardiovascular Surgery, Clinica Universitaria de Navarra, E-31080, Pamplona, Spain aut Serena Andrés Departments of Nuclear Medicine and Cardiovascular Surgery, Clinica Universitaria de Navarra, E-31080, Pamplona, Spain aut Domper Marta Departments of Nuclear Medicine and Cardiovascular Surgery, Clinica Universitaria de Navarra, E-31080, Pamplona, Spain aut Ramirez Juan Departments of Nuclear Medicine and Cardiovascular Surgery, Clinica Universitaria de Navarra, E-31080, Pamplona, Spain aut Gómez Asunción Departments of Nuclear Medicine and Cardiovascular Surgery, Clinica Universitaria de Navarra, E-31080, Pamplona, Spain aut Arcas Ramón Departments of Nuclear Medicine and Cardiovascular Surgery, Clinica Universitaria de Navarra, E-31080, Pamplona, Spain aut European Journal of Nuclear Medicine Springer-Verlag 16/3(1990-03-01), 167-171 0340-6997 16:3<167 1990 16 259 https://doi.org/10.1007/BF01146856 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1007/BF01146856 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Richter José Departments of Nuclear Medicine and Cardiovascular Surgery, Clinica Universitaria de Navarra, E-31080, Pamplona, Spain aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Herreros Jesús Departments of Nuclear Medicine and Cardiovascular Surgery, Clinica Universitaria de Navarra, E-31080, Pamplona, Spain aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Serena Andrés Departments of Nuclear Medicine and Cardiovascular Surgery, Clinica Universitaria de Navarra, E-31080, Pamplona, Spain aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Domper Marta Departments of Nuclear Medicine and Cardiovascular Surgery, Clinica Universitaria de Navarra, E-31080, Pamplona, Spain aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Ramirez Juan Departments of Nuclear Medicine and Cardiovascular Surgery, Clinica Universitaria de Navarra, E-31080, Pamplona, Spain aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Gómez Asunción Departments of Nuclear Medicine and Cardiovascular Surgery, Clinica Universitaria de Navarra, E-31080, Pamplona, Spain aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Arcas Ramón Departments of Nuclear Medicine and Cardiovascular Surgery, Clinica Universitaria de Navarra, E-31080, Pamplona, Spain aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- European Journal of Nuclear Medicine Springer-Verlag 16/3(1990-03-01), 167-171 0340-6997 16:3<167 1990 16 259 Metadata rights reserved Springer special CC-BY-NC licence nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-springer
