Riassunto
Le patologie cardiovascolari rappresentano la principale causa di morte nei paesi industrializzati e, tra esse, più della metà dei decessi è imputabile alla cardiopatia ischemica. Ciò spiega lo sforzo profuso in ambito cardiologico per dotarsi di strategie di valutazione per il riconoscimento della malattia, come pure per il monitoraggio della sua evoluzione e della risposta al trattamento in termini prognostici. Negli ultimi quarant’anni, le applicazioni della medicina nucleare in cardiologia nucleare sono diventate strumento diagnostico e prognostico insostituibile nella gestione del paziente con sospetta o accertata cardiopatia ischemica, grazie allo sviluppo di nuovi radiofarmaci, all’applicazione delle modalità tomografiche di ricostruzione delle immagini (SPECT, PET) e allo sviluppo di acquisizioni sincronizzate con l’elettrocardiogramma, che forniscono la simultanea valutazione di perfusione e funzione ventricolare sinistra.
