Imaging Guidelines for Nuclear Cardiology Procedures: Equilibrium Radionuclide Angiocardiography (ERNA)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Planar equilibrium radionuclide angiocardiography (ERNA) is used to determine global and regional measures of ventricular function (primarily left ventricular [LV] function) at rest and/or during exercise stress or pharmacologic intervention. These measures of ventricular function may include evaluations of ventricular wall motion, ejection fraction (EF), and other parameters of systolic and diastolic function. The following sections provide a technical description of the techniques to acquire and process the data necessary to assess parameters of ventricular performance.

متن کاملDoxorubicin cardiotoxicity: prevention of congestive heart failure with serial cardiac function monitoring with equilibrium radionuclide angiocardiography in the current era.
BACKGROUND Congestive heart failure (CHF) is among the most serious toxicities of doxorubicin, a potent cancer chemotherapeutic agent. Serial left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) monitoring during doxorubicin therapy for preventing CHF was proposed over 20 years ago. The current utility and cost-effectiveness of this approach in the present era are not known. METHODS AND RESULTS Clinical...
متن کاملEquilibrium radionuclide angiocardiography for the evaluation of right ventricular ejection fraction in patients with cardiac disorders.
OBJECTIVE To compare correlation between right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) derived from MRI and equilibrium radionuclide angiocardiography (ERNA) depicted from the left anterior oblique (LAO) view and anterior (ANT) view [designated as ERNA (LAO) and ERNA (ANT), respectively]. METHODS Twenty-one patients with cardiac disorders received ERNA and cardiac MRI examination within 2 weeks ...

1. Treadmill exercise is the most widely used stress modality. Several treadmill exercise protocols are described which differ in the speed and grade of treadmill inclination and may be more appropriate for specific patient populations. The Bruce and modified Bruce protocosls are the most widely used exercise protocols. 2. Upright bicycle exercise is commonly used in Europe. This is preferable ...
