Definitive diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction early in the process is often difficult. An imaging agent that localized quickly and specifically in areas of acute necrosis could provide this critical diagnostic information. To determine whether imaging with 99mTc-labeled D-glucaric acid (GLA)
Recent data have generated some interest in technetium-99m-(99mTc) glucaric acid as an in vivo viability marker. We studied 99mTc-glucaric acid retention in canine models of myocardial ischemia (20-min occlusion of the LAD/40-min reperfusion), acute myocardial infarction (MI) (90-min LAD
Purpose: Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of disability worldwide. The volume of necrotic core in affected tissue plays a major role in selecting stroke patients for thrombolytic therapy or endovascular thrombectomy. In this study, we
Tc-99m pyrophosphate is the grandfather of infarct avid agents. Its value is its clinical availability and ease of use. However, its shortcomings are the delay of 2 to 3 days for reliable interpretation in nonreperfused myocardial infarction (MI) and the overarching bone activity. Antimyosin
Infarct-avid radiopharmaceuticals are necessary for rapid and timely diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. The animal model used to produce infarction implies artery ligation but chemical induction can be easily obtained with isoproterenol. A new infarct-avid radiopharmaceutical based on
BACKGROUND
Current clinical approaches may not always be helpful in the early differentiation of necrotic tissue from ischemic viable myocardium in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Tc-99m-glucaric acid is a carbohydrate ligand that may permit differentiation of necrosis from ischemia.
Positron emission tomography (PET) of myocardial infarction (MI) by infarct avid imaging has the potential to reduce the time to diagnosis and improve diagnostic accuracy. The objective of this work was to synthesize 18F-labeled glucaric acid (FGA) for PET imaging of isoproterenol-induced
The potential structural similarity of technetium-99m-labeled glucaric acid (99mTc-glucarate) to that of fructose suggests that this agent may enter cells by a sugar transport system. Studies with LLC-PK1 cells demonstrated inhibition of 99mTc-glucarate uptake by fructose, confirming this potential
