| Summary: | Title screen The purpose was to study the utility of technetium 99m - pyrophosphate in the diagnoses of inflammatory changes of the heart in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation. The study included 30 patients (20 men and 10 women, mean age is 46 ± 9.92 years) with idiopathic persistent atrial fibrillation. To identify the foci of inflammatory changes in the myocardium the scintigraphy with {99m}Tc-Pyrphotech and myocardial perfusion scintigraphy with {99m}Tc-methoxy-isobutyl-isonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) was performed before the operation. Later, both scintigrams were combined. During the surgical intervention, in all patients an endomyocardial sampling for histological and immunohistochemical study was performed. Pathological accumulation of {99m}Tc-Pyrphotech in the myocardium was detected in 8 (26%) of examined patients. In 20% of cases the cause of "idiopathic" form of AF is latent lymphocytic or polymorphocellular myocarditis of viral etiology. Scintigraphy with {99m}Tc-Pyrphotech can serve as one of the primary methods for non-invasive diagnosis of myocardial inflammation at the given form of arrhythmia.
