İnsülin Direnci İle Gated Myokard Perfüzyon Spect Sintigrafisinden Elde Edilen Parametrelerin İlişkisi

Purpose: To investigate the correlation between myocardial perfusion scintigraphic findingsand insulin resistance.Methods: Our study group consisted of 153 non-diabetic patients (80 women and 73 men, meanage 54 ± 12), referred to our department for the myocardial perfusion scintigraphy withsuspected coronary artery disease between October/2011-April/2012., Fasting insulin and bloodsugar levels were measured. Insulin resistance was calculated using HOMA-IR method. Leftventricular quantitative parameters were automatically calculated using quantitative GATEDSPECT (QGS) software.Results: According to the scintigraphic results, 90 (58.8%) of the patients were normal and 48(31.3%) of the patients had ischemia. Mean insulin values of patients were found to be9.06±13.95 in normal group and 7.50±5.71 in the ischemic group (p=0.943). Additionally,HOMA-IR was 2.19±3.59 in normal group and 1.71±1.34 in the ischemic group (p=0.368).There was no significant difference between scintigraphic findings and insulin resistance orHOMA-IR results. Conclusion: We found no significant correlation between insulin resistance and cardiovascularrisk parameters obtained from GATED SPECT MPS
