[en] Myocardial perfusion is altered significantly in patients with rhythm disturbances such as CLBBB and right ventricular pacing rhythm. Abnormal myocardial perfusion may be caused by ventricular preexcitation, but its location, extent, severity and correlation with accessory pathway (AP) are not established. We evaluated perfusion patterns on SPECT in patients with WPW syndrome. Adenosine Tc-99m MIBI or Tl-201 myocardial SPECT with or without coronary angiography were performed in 11 patients with WPW syndrome. Perfusion defects (PD) were compared to AP location based on ECG or electrophysiologic study. Small to large extent (11.0 8.5%, range: 0 35%) and mild to moderate severity (-71.8 42.7%, range: -217 0%) of reversible (n=9) or fixed (n=1) perfusion defects were noted. One patient with right free wall AP showed normal. Other defect locations were as follows. Myocardial perfusion defect showed variable extent, severity and location in patients with WPW syndrome. It was not specifically correlated with location of accessory pathway, but most of all patients were abnormal perfusion pattern. Therefore myocardial perfusion SPECT was interpreted carefully in patients with WPW syndrome
