Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Radionuclide imaging of the left ventricle is a recent innovative procedure requiring a gamma-camera interfaced to a computer. It has the advantages of being non-invasive and of allowing studies at rest and exercise. Left ventricular function may be assessed by viewing the images as an endless loop cine-display, or by quantitating the over-all and segmental functions. Validation studies comparing the technique with standard contrast angiograms have confirmed its reliability. Clinical studies have been undertaken in normal volunteers, and in patients. The technique will have increasing application in assessing the aetiology of chest pain, in selection of patients for cardiac surgery, and in determining the effects of interventions, such as drug therapy or coronary artery bypass surgery, on ventricular performance. |
