Abstract
|
|
|
To evaluate the usefulness of radionuclide cardiac angiography in the assessment of right
ventricular function, we measured right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) using single pass
method.
In 12 normal persons, RVEF averaged 52.7土5.9% (mean±SD.). In 25 patients with chronic
obstructive lung disease, RVEF was 37.2 10.6% and significantly lower than that of normal
persons (p<0.01)
.
All 10 patients with right ventricular failure had abnormal RVEF, which was significantly
lower than that of 14 patients without right ventricular failure (27.6±5.7%, 43.9±8.5%, respectively. p<0. 01).
It concluded thal RVEF measured by single pass radionuclide cardiac angiography was a useful, noninvasive method to assess right ventricular function.
