R.E.Coleman (Durham, NC, USA), Current status of nuclear cardiology
Radionuclide studies of the heart are approximately one-third of the imaging studies performed in nuclear medicine. Gated blood pool studies provide important information concerning global and regional ventricular function. The results provide both diagnostic and prognostic information in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). The exercise acquisition should be performed while the patient is at a constant, maximum workload, since the ejection fraction (EF) increases rapidly with slight decreases in workload. A decrease in EF with exercise is sensitive but…
