AB The  electrophysiologist  needs  precise  electromechanical  investigation  tools  to  quantify  the  electrical  propagation  and  its  impact  through  the  heart  muscle.  Analysis  of  the  timing  of  the  myocardial  contraction  based  on  Fourier  phase  histograms  allows  mapping  of  the  kinetics  of  the  different  ventricular  segments  from  functional  phase  pictures  and,  by  extrapolation,  mapping  of  the  electrical  activity  of  the  heart.  Nuclear  cardiology  combines  mechanical  and  electrical  analysis  in  real  time.  In  this  chapter,  we  report  on  our  experience  of  gated  blood  pool  scintigraphy  combined  with  phase  analysis  and  myocardial  innervation  imaging  in  various  diseases  with  electrical  disorders.
