Iodine-123-metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy in risk stratification of sudden death in heart failure
Metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) is a false neurotransmitter noradrenaline analogue that is taken up by the ‘uptake 1’ transporter mechanism in the cell membrane of presynaptic adrenergic neurons and accumulates in catecholamine storage vesicles. Since it is practically unmetabolized, it can be labele...
