Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Nuclear Cardiology: Practical Applications, 3e AB - The noninvasive assessment of resting left ventricular (LV) performance is an integral part of the evaluation of patients with known or suspected cardiac disease, having important diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic significance.1–11 Although scintigraphic measures of cardiac function historically included measurement of ejection fraction (EF), estimation of cardiac output, valvular regurgitant fraction, and detection of intracardiac shunts have also been successfully performed. Other than EF, these potential applications for nuclear cardiology techniques have been largely supplanted by echocardiography, cardiac computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques over the past two decades.
