Abstract

Quantitation of cardiac pump function using radionuclide angiocardiography provides objective information for the management of patients with heart disease. Left and right ventricular ejection fraction, stroke volume ratio, ejection rate, diastolic function, ventricular volume, parametric imaging, amplitude and phase analysis, and shunt quantification can be measured from the radionuclide angiocardiogram at rest, during exercise, and during pharmacologic interventions. This review describes these methods and discusses their reliability and their role in the clinical assessment of patients with cardiac disease.
