Methods: Our study group consisted of 153 non-diabetic patients (80 women and 73 men, mean age 54 ± 12), referred to our department for the myocardial perfusion scintigraphy with suspected coronary artery disease between October/2011-April/2012., Fasting insulin and blood sugar levels were measured. Insulin resistance was calculated using HOMA-IR method. Left ventricular quantitative parameters were automatically calculated using quantitative GATED SPECT (QGS) software. Results: According to the scintigraphic results, 90 (58.8%) of the patients were normal and 48 (31.3%) of the patients had ischemia. Mean insulin values of patients were found to be 9.06±13.95 in normal group and 7.50±5.71 in the ischemic group (p=0.943). Additionally, HOMA-IR was 2.19±3.59 in normal group and 1.71±1.34 in the ischemic group (p=0.368). There was no significant difference between scintigraphic findings and insulin resistance or HOMA-IR results. Conclusion: We found no significant correlation between insulin resistance and cardiovascular risk parameters obtained from GATED SPECT MPS. © 2021 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessHOMA-IRInsulin resistanceMyocardial Perfusion ScintigraphyArticle16214182-s2.0-84940758656Q3
