BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to define reference values for left ventricular systolic synchrony and for the volume parameters of the left ventricle using myocardial perfusion SPECT-derived phase analysis method. METHODS We evaluated data of 433 patients who underwent myocardial perfusion SPECT/CT during January 2012-February 2013 in Kuopio University Hospital. The final study population consisted of 52 patients (aged 42-84 years) who met the criteria: (1) no previously diagnosed cardiac disease, (2) normal ECG at rest, (3) no advanced coronary artery disease in CT and 4) normal myocardial perfusion in stress/rest myocardial perfusion SPECT/CT. The severity of mechanical dyssynchrony was assessed by phase analysis of gated myocardial SPECT at stress stage after pharmacological exercise and at rest using Quantitative Gated SPECT (QGS) software. Volume parameters of the left ventricle were also assessed. RESULTS The phase histogram bandwidth at rest was 28.0 [63.7] degrees (median [95th percentile]). The standard deviation of phase histogram at rest was 7.8 [26.5] degrees. Entropy at the rest study was 54.0 [63.7] %. All left ventricular dyssynchrony parameters were statistically significantly higher at stress compared to rest. There were no statistically significant differences in dyssynchrony values between men and women. In volume parameters, reference values in male were expectedly higher than in female. Cardiac output did not differ significantly between genders. CONCLUSIONS In subjects without signs of cardiac diseases, the left ventricular systolic function is well synchronized. Phase analysis measurement does not depend on gender, age, BMI or blood pressure, but the values of dyssynchrony parameters increase during pharmacological stress.

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.
