Limitations of radionuclide ventriculography in the non-invasive diagnosis of coronary artery disease. A correlation with right heart haemodynamic values during exercise.
A consecutive series of 56 patients with chest pain but no evidence of previous myocardial infarction was prospectively studied by radionuclide ventriculography to determine the value of global and regional radionuclide indices in detecting coronary artery disease. The results were correlated with the clinical judgment of chest pain, the results of the exercise electrocardiogram, and the right ...
متن کاملThe role of radionuclide ventriculography in the assessment of prognosis in patients with CAD.
One of the most important roles of cardiovascular nuclear medicine in evaluating patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) is predicting patient outcome. Measurements of ventricular function obtained by radionuclide ventriculography play a key role in defining a patient's prognosis. Because ventricular function correlates well with the total extent of myocardial ischemic burden, data derived ...
متن کاملHow useful are the cold pressor test and sustained isometric handgrip exercise with radionuclide ventriculography in the evaluation of patients with coronary artery disease?
The feasibility of using the cold pressor test and the sustained isometric handgrip test as alternatives to dynamic exercise for stressing the heart was investigated. Serial changes in heart rate, blood pressure, and left ventricular performance induced by these tests were studied by radionuclide ventriculography in patients with coronary artery disease and in normal volunteers. Both tests sign...
متن کاملNon-invasive measurement of left ventricular function in coronary artery disease. Comparison of first pass radionuclide ventriculography, M-mode echocardiography, and systolic time intervals.
Fifty consecutive patients having had cardiac catheterisation for coronary artery disease also underwent testing by three non-invasive methods commonly employed for assessment of left ventricular function. These included the first pass radionuclide ejection fraction, fractional shortening of the M-mode echocardiographic left ventricular internal dimension, and pre-ejection period/left ventricul...
متن کاملExercise testing without interruption of medication for refining the selection of mildly symptomatic patients for prognostic coronary angiography.
OBJECTIVE To examine how exercise testing on background medical treatment affects the ability of the test to predict prognostically important patterns of coronary anatomy in patients with a high clinical probability of coronary artery disease but who are well controlled on medication. DESIGN Prospective study. SETTING Regional cardiothoracic centre and referring district general hospital. ...
