摘要
Tissue uptake of L-[methyl-C-11]-methionine (C-11-methionine) has been used to monitor amino acid metabolism and protein synthesis. We examined whether C-11-methionine was retained in areas of myocardial infarction after successful reperfusion. Methods: Nine patients with infarction in the left anterior descendent region underwent percutaneous transluminal coronary artery intervention within 24 h and Tl-201 SPECT, F-18-FDG PET, and C-11-methionine PET within 2 wk of infarction onset. The standardized uptake values of the infarcted area and of the normal area were measured. Results: The C-11-methionine images showed increased uptake in the infarcted area, whereas the Tl-201 SPECT and F-18-FDG PET images showed decreased uptake. The highest accumulation of C-11-methionine in the infarcted area was observed during the early phase of AMI. Conclusion: C-11-methionine uptake is elevated in infarcted areas and may reflect the early acute phase of damage healing, that is, the initial process of remodeling.
