The present study sought to determine whether myocardial fatty acid metabolism as assessed with iodine-123-labeled 15-(p-iodophenyl)-3-R, S-methylpentadecanoic acid(BMIPP)scintigraphy is impaired in patients with aortic valve disease(AVD)and whether the degree of the metabolic abnormality reflects the severity of AVD. BMIPP scinitigraphy was performed in 12 patients with aortic stenosis(AS), 14 patients with aortic regurgitation(AR), and 9 healthy volunteers, and from that the heart-mediastinum uptake ratio(H/M ratio)corrected by the left ventricular(LV)mass(U/Mass ratio)and the myocardial washout rate(WR)were obtained. The H/M ratio tended to be higher in patients than in healthy volunteers(3.3±0.7 for AS, 3.5±0.5 for AR, 3.0±0.3 for healthy volunteers), and the WR was significantly higher in patients than in healthy velunteers(42.8±9.1% for AS, 35.7±6.5% for AR, 19.6±9.1% for healthy volunteers, p<0.01). In the AS patients, the U/Mass ratio showed significant negative correlations(r=-0.79 to -0.90, all p<0.01)and the WR showed significant positive correlations(r=0.61 to 0.82, all p<0.01)with transaortic pressure gradient, LV wall thickness, and LV mass. Similarly, in AR patients these BMIPP parameters showed proportional changes to the LV volumes and LV mass(r=-0.79 to -0.83, all p<0.01 for U/Mass ratio, r=0.55 to 0.70, p<0.05 to <0.01 for WR). In the 9 patients who underwent aortic valve replacement, the BMIPP parameters tended to normalize with increasing U/Mass ratio(0.90±0.41x10^<-2>/g to 1.34±0.59x10^<-2>/g, p<0.05)and decreasing WR(41.9±8.8% to 35.4±9.2%, p<0.01)after surgery. Myocardial fatty acid metabolism as assessed with BMIPP scintigraphy was impaired in patients with aortic valve disease and the U/Mass ratio and WR reflect the severity. These parameters may be useful for the noninvasive assessment of the myocardial metabolic abnormalities caused by hemodynamic overload.
