LEFT VENTRICULAR EJECTION FRACTION: A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY COMPARING 2D ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY AND GATED SINGLE PHOTON EMISSION COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (SPECT) IN CLINICAL USE.

Objectives The aim of this study was to compare left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) results derived from gated single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) using Cedars-Sinai quantitative gated SPECT (QGS) processing software with results from 2D echocardiography, both obtained in routin...

Syfte Syftet med studien var att jämföra hur bra ultraljud av hjärta och isotopundersökning av hjärta stämmer överens när det gäller att visa hjärtats pumpförmåga.   Metod Data från tidigare utförda undersökningar av 73 patienter jämfördes. Patienter som hade gjort båda undersökningarna inom 6 månader och under perioden mellan undersökningarna inte hade haft hjärtinfarkt eller någon annan händelse som kan påverka hjärtats pumpförmåga valdes till studien.   Resultat Utslaget över hela studiepopulationen stämde resultaten från de båda undersökningarna bra överens.
