Study of right ventricular function in ischaemic heart disease using radionuclide angiocardiography. 1979

S Walton, and D J Rowlands, and R A Shields, and H J Testa

A technique for the estimation of LVEF from first passage radionuclide angiocardiography was adapted to provide estimates of RVEF. In 17 subjects with no history of cardiovascular disease mean LVEF was 0.71 +/- 0.08 and mean RVEF 0.65 +/- 0.08. Mean values for 15 subjects with coronary artery disease but no previous history of myocardial infarction were 0.66 +/- 0.10 for LVEF and 0.65 +/- 0.08 for RVEF. Depressed ejection fractions were found after acute myocardial infarction. LVEF was lower after anterior (0.43 +/- 0.06) than inferior (0.51 +/- 0.10) infarction. RVEF was normal in the majority of subjects with anterior infarction (0.58 +/- 0.10) but was depressed after inferior infarction (0.50 +/- 0.05). Similar, although less marked, results were found in a group of subjects with old myocardial infarction.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.
