REPRODUCIBILITY OF HEART TO MEDIASTINUM RATIO ON 123IODINE-META-IODOBENZYLGUANIDINE (123I-MIBG) MYOCARDIAL SCINTIGRAPHY IN PATIENTS WITH HEART FAILURE

open access: yesJournal of the American College of Cardiology, 2012
Although 123Iodine- meta-iodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) myocardial scintigraphy provides important prognostic information in heart failure (HF) patients, widespread clinical implementation is hampered due to lack of validation and standardization.

Decreased Myocardial 123I‐MIBG Uptake Without Sympathetic Denervation: An Autopsy Report of Autoimmune Autonomic Ganglionopathy

open access: yesBrain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Autopsy findings in autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy (AAG) revealed preserved thoracic sympathetic ganglia, intact cardiac sympathetic fibers, and preserved enteric plexuses, providing pathological support for AAG as a channelopathy. Abstract Introduction Autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy (AAG) is a rare disorder characterized by widespread ...

Reply to the letter by Ben F. Bulten et al. regarding “Interobserver Variability of Heart-to-Mediastinum Ratio in I-123 MIBG Sympathetic Imaging” [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Cardiology Reports, 2012
We appreciate the favorable remarks by Dr. Bulten et al. regarding our article and proposed approaches for drawing region of interest (ROI) when computing heart-tomediastinal ratio (H/M ratio) in MIBG cardiac sympathetic imaging [1, 2]. The authors applied two of our proposed approaches (the “whole heart ROI” and the “small anterior wall ROI”) in 30 ...

Intramural Hematoma of the Esophagus: A Case Report and Literature Review

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Intramural esophageal hematoma is a rare differential diagnosis for retrosternal pain with dysphagia or hematemesis, especially in patients on antiplatelets. Computed tomography excludes aortic dissection and confirms the diagnosis. Temporary aspirin withdrawal and conservative management led to complete resolution by Day 3, with no recurrence
