Résumé

Evaluate the impact of 82-Rubidium positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) availability on patient management presenting at the emergency department (ED) with chest pain (CP). This is a single-center retrospective study of clinical databases. Patients presenting with CP with a non-definitive suspicion of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) at the ED between April 2016 and February 2020 were divided into 2 groups based on PET availability. The proportion of invasive coronary angiography (ICA) without significant coronary artery disease (CAD), length of stay (LoS), and additional downstream testing were evaluated. There were 21,242 ED visits for CP without definitive ACS: 5,492 when PET is not available and 15,750 when PET is available. When PET is available, proportion of patients undergoing a MPI study was greater (20.7% vs 17.6%, P<0.0001), proportion of ICA without significant CAD was similar (18.5% vs 21.4%, P=0.24), and median ED LoS was shorter (16.6 vs 18.1 hours, P=0.03). Patients undergoing SPECT MPI had significantly more downstream testing (8.9% vs 6.4%, P=0.003) and a higher rate of coronary angiogram without significant CAD (21.2% vs 14.2%, P=0.09) compared to those who underwent PET MPI. Availability of PET MPI was associated with an increased number of MPI referral from the ED, similar rates of ICA without significant CAD, decreased LoS, and fewer downstream testing. Evaluar el impacto de la tomografía por emisión de positrones (PET) con 82-Rubidio y la disponibilidad de imágenes de perfusión miocárdica (MPI) en el manejo de los pacientes que se presentan en el servicio de urgencias (ED) con dolor torácico (CP). MéTODOS: Este es un estudio retrospectivo de bases de datos clínicas de un solo centro. Pacientes que presentaron CP con sospecha no definitiva de síndrome coronario agudo (ACS) en el ED entre abril de 2016 y febrero de 2020, se dividieron en 2 grupos según la disponibilidad de PET. Se evaluó la proporción de angiografía coronaria invasiva (ICA) sin enfermedad arterial coronaria (CAD) significativa, la duración de la estancia (LoS) y las pruebas posteriores adicionales. Hubo 21,242 visitas al ED por CP sin ACS definitivo: 5,492 cuando no se dispone de PET y 15.750 cuando se dispone de PET. Cuando se dispone de PET, la proporción de pacientes sometidos a estudio de MPI fue mayor (20.7% vs 17.6%, p=0.03). Los pacientes que se sometieron a SPECT MPI tuvieron significativamente más pruebas posteriores (8.9 % frente a 6.4 %, p = 0.003) y una tasa más alta de angiografía coronaria sin CAD significativa (21.2 % frente a 14.2 %, p = 0.09) en comparación con los que se sometieron a PET MPI. CONCLUSIóN: La disponibilidad de PET MPI se asoció con un mayor número de referencias de MPI desde el ED, tasas similares de ICA sin CAD significativa, disminución de LoS y menos pruebas posteriores.
