A new perspective on an old method: gated SPECT imaging for left ventricular contractile function assessment
AbstractThe ejection fraction (LVEF) is a commonly used marker of left ventricular function. However, because it is strongly influenced by loading conditions, it can be inaccurate in representing cardiac contractility. We therefore evaluated a gated SPECT based tool to simultaneously assess preload, afterload, and contractility. Using gated SPECT-determined ventricular volumes and arterial tension measurements, we calculated ventricular and arterial elastance (Ev and Ea), as well as end-diastolic volumes, which are surrogates for contractility, afterload, and preload, respectively. We applied this protocol to 1462 consecut...

SPECT myocardial blood flow quantitation for the detection of angiographic stenoses with cardiac-dedicated CZT SPECT
ConclusionThe non-invasive SPECT MBF quantitation using CZT SPECT is a reliable method to detect angiographically obstructive and flow-limited CAD. Myocardial flow capacity can outperform with higher diagnostic sensitivity than stress MBF or MFR alone. (Source: Journal of Nuclear Cardiology)
