Iodine-123 15-(p-iodophenyl)-3-R,S-methylpentadecanoic acid myocardial single photon emission computed tomography(iodine-123 BMIPP myocardial SPECT) is useful for the diagnosis and evaluation of ischemic myocardial disease or cardiomyopathy. Changes in fatty acid metabolism in the post-myocardial ischemic state were evaluated using iodine-123 BMIPP myocardial SPECT. A 77-year-old woman was hospitalized for treatment of acute myocardial infarction. Emergency coronary angiography showed severe stenosis with delayed filling of contrast medium in the middle portion of the left anterior descending artery, so primary percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty was performed successfully. On the second day, iodine-123 BMIPP uptake was decreased slightly on the early imaging in the apico-anterior region, and increased slightly on the delayed imaging. On the seventh day, iodine-123 BMIPP uptake was decreased moderately or markedly in the apico-anterior region on the early imaging, and decreased markedly on the delayed imaging. Iodine-123 BMIPP myocardial SPECT subsequently became almost normalized. These unusual dynamic changes In iodine-123 BMIPP myocardial SPECT imaging may reflect metabolic changes of fatty acids in the ischemic state, the size of the triacylglycerol pool, and the degree of turnover in the triacylglycerol pool.
