Gated 99mTc-labeled sestamibi SPECT provides reproducible LV volume measurements. With validation of volume measurement, gated SPECT provides comprehensive assessment of regional and global LV function. This information is important in many patient groups such as those with ischemic cardiomyopathy, concomitant coronary and valve disease, and those who have had myocardial infarction. It will also be useful to assess the incremental value of LV volumes in risk assessment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
