Brief summary
The objective is to determine whether 99Technetium-NC100692 uptake in patients with ACS (MI) can serve as a marker for scar formation as detected by contrast-enhanced MRI during the process of myocardial remodelling after the ischemic insult. Comparison of ACS and HCM Populations: The primary objective is to determine whether TcNC100692 imaging is able to quantify the extent to which myocardial fibrogenesis occurring early post myocardial infarction differs from that in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The primary hypothesis is that since fibrogenesis is known to occur most intensely in the first days to weeks post myocardial infarction, while it is a more protracted, less predictable process in HCM, there will be significantly more TcNC100692 uptake in the early post-ACS population than in the HCM population. Control Population: Normal control images will allow for differentiation of uptake in the myocardium.
Detailed description
HCM Population: The primary objective is to determine whether fibrosis detected by MRI and 99mTc-NC100692 uptake in patients with HCM are associated. The secondary objective is to determine whether 99mTc-NC100692 uptake correlates on a segmental basis with fibrosis visualised by late Gd-enhancement MRI. The tertiary objective is to evaluate the relationship between the extent of fibrosis assessed by 99mTc-NC100692 uptake and mean longitudinal strain as determined by speckle tracking echocardiography. The primary hypothesis is that there is an increased uptake of 99mTc-NC100692 in patients with HCM fibrosis detected by MRI. The secondary hypothesis is that the location and extent of increased 99mTc-NC100692 uptake will correlate with localization and extent measurements of fibrosis by Gd-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging. The tertiary hypothesis is that the extent of fibrosis assessed by the number of segments with and the magnitude of 99mTc NC100692 uptake will correlate with mean longitudinal strain as determined by speckle tracking echocardiography. ACS Population: The objective is to determine whether 99Technetium-NC100692 uptake in patients with ACS (MI) can serve as a marker for scar formation as detected by contrast-enhanced MRI during the process of myocardial remodelling after the ischemic insult. The primary hypothesis is that there is an increased uptake of 99Technetium-NC100692 in patients following an ACS event (MI) and that the location and extent of increased 99Technetium-NC100692 uptake will correlate with the presence and extent of scar as detected by contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging. Normal Control Population: Preliminary analysis of images from HCM population showed a diffuse, low grade uptake of 99Technetium-NC100692 in non-hypertrophied myocardial segments. Although not entirely unexpected, comparison with control images will allow for quantification of low grade fibrosis and low grade uptake.
Interventions
RADIATION99mTc-NC100692
HCM and ACS subjects: 99mTc-NC100692 SPECT scan, CMR and echocardiography images will be obtained and compared. Normal control: 99mTc-NC100692 SPECT scan, CMR and echocardiography imaging obtained for comparison with HCM and ACS images.

Inclusion criteria
HCM Population: Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of HCM as defined as: Interventricular septal thickness greater than 12 mm on a 2D echocardiogram, or septal: posterior wall thickness as measured on parasternal long axis view of \>1.3 in the absence of secondary causes of cardiac hypertrophy such as aortic stenosis and systemic hypertension.
Exclusion criteria
* Concomitant diseases that can lead to myocardial hypertrophy including valvular heart disease and uncontrolled hypertension. If HCM is proven by either the presence of a family history of HCM or through genotyping, patients with controlled hypertension will not be excluded. * Documented coronary artery disease including a history of previous myocardial infarction or coronary intervention or revascularization. * Known diabetic cardiomyopathy. ACS Population: Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of ACS, either NSTEMI as determined by positive myocardial markers or STEMI patients who have an onset of symptoms 12 hours or less before presentation and an ST-segment elevation of at least 1 mm in two or more contiguous limb leads or of at least 2 mm in two or more contiguous precordial leads during prehospital 12-lead ECGs. Patients will undergo 99mTc-NC100692 imaging within 1 week of acute myocardial infarction.
