Ejection fraction by radionuclide ventriculography and contrast left ventriculogram. A tale of two techniques. SAVE Investigators. Survival and Ventricular Enlargement.
OBJECTIVES We assessed the abilities of two methods to measure ejection fraction (EF)-radionuclide ventriculography (RVG) and contrast left ventriculography (Cath-EFa) to predict cardiovascular events. BACKGROUND Both RVG and Cath-EFa are commonly used methods to measure left ventricular performance and assess prognosis. Their comparative abilities to predict clinical events have not been rep...
متن کاملNontraumatic determination of left ventricular ejection fraction by radionuclide angiocardiography.
Previous reports have suggested that left ventricular ejection fraction can be assessed by recording the passage of peripherally administered radioactive bolus through the heart. The accuracy and validity of this technique were examined in 20 patients undergoing diagnostic cardiac catheterization. 99m-Tc-human serum albumin was injected via a central venous catheter into the superior vena cava ...
متن کاملRadionuclide angiocardiographic measurement of left ventricular volume and ejection fraction.
In recent years a number of different radionuclidic techniques have been developed to measure left ventricular volume and ejection fraction. Area-measurement concepts have been applied to static and electrocardiographically gated radionuclidic images which have resulted in accurate measurement of left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) and ejection fraction (LVEF). Gated (end-diastolic an...
متن کاملRadionuclide measurement of left ventricular ejection fraction in tricuspid atresia.
In 15 patients with tricuspid atresia and one with tricuspid stenosis the left ventricular ejection fraction was measured by equilibrium gated radionuclide angiography and the results compared with those from a control group of 16 patients. The patients with tricuspid atresia had a significantly depressed ejection fraction. Those who had a surgical shunt or who had had pulmonary artery banding ...
متن کاملRadionuclide left ventricular ejection fraction: a comparison of three methods.
Three commercially available computer programs (a semiautomatic method, a manual method, and a regional method) were used to calculate left ventricular ejection fraction from the equilibrium multiple gated radionuclide ventriculograms obtained from 24 normal male subjects and 20 men with heart failure. In the normal subjects the ejection fraction values calculated by each method were significan...
