Left ventricular function assessed by gated spet after an exercise-augmented adenosine infusion. Correlation with myocardial ischaemia.

Gated single photon emission tomography (SPET) may simultaneously assess perfusion and function of the myocardium. ⋯ The post-stress LVEF with gated SPET may not reflect true resting measurements. The qualitative assessment of regional wall motion reversibility shows better correlation with the ischaemic scan pattern than the difference in the LVEF and may be helpful in assessing the significance of reversible myocardial ischaemia.
