We have previously shown that ex vivo counting of (131)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine can identify regional reductions in sympathetic norepinephrine uptake in pigs with hibernating myocardium. However, nonneuronal uptake limited relative differences between regions and would preclude accurate assessment with conventional imaging. We therefore hypothesized that the superior specificity of the positron-emitting isotope (11)C-hydroxyephedrine (HED) would facilitate the imaging of regional differences, and we designed this study to determine whether altered uptake of norepinephrine by sympathetic nerves in viable, dysfunctional myocardium can be imaged in vivo and to determine the temporal progression and stability of sympathetic dysinnervation in hibernating myocardium.
