Thallium-201 gated single-photon emission tomography for assessing left ventricular volumes and function in patients with aortic valve stenosis: Comparison with echocardiography as the reference standard

Thallium-201 gated single-photon emission tomography for assessing left ventricular volumes and function in patients with aortic valve stenosis: Comparison with echocardiography as the reference standard

Background: Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is characterized by chronic left ventricular pressure overload, leading to left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). We assessed correlations in left ventricular volumes and function between echocardiography and quantitative gated SPECT (QGS) in patients with AS. Met...
