123-iodine heptadecanoic acid (HDA) cardiac metabolism of inactive sportsmen with nuclear cardiology, impacted into complex cardiological studies

  • 1. Allami Szivkorhaz, Balatonfuered (Hungary)

Description

8 inactive sportsmen and 8 heavy physical workers with similar mean age (36 years) and mean body surface (2 m2) were analysed functionally and metabolically for myocardial hypertrophy. 123I-heptadecanoic acid (HDA) scintigraphy and kinetics were carried out with methods of Feinendegen and Dudczak and using Hungarian gamma-camera. In both groups good correlation was found between the myocardial uptake of 123I-HDA and 201Tl. Regional alterations of myocardial perfusion during ergometric load were analyzed and compared to alterations of the ECG and echo. (author) 24 refs.; 7 figs
