Purpose : We considered the correlation of Ejection Fraction (EF) which was analyzed by Multi Gated Blood Pool Scan (MUGA) and Echocardiography (ECHO) for the patients who were classified according to the condition of cardiac function.
Materials and Methods : We analyzed the patients (female 60) who were diagnosed with breast cancer and were examined by both MUGA and ECHO. The 30 patients (age: 58.27±13.48) who were analyzed into less than 50% to 70% of EF were categorized as normal group and the other 30 patients (age: 53.70±8.45) who were analyzed into less than 50% of EF were categorized as abnormal group. Statistical analysis with SPSS ver. 18 was applied.
Results : Each of the value of mean and standard deviation of normal group was 66.43± 5.80 (MUGA), 60.50±4.93 (ECHO). There was a significant difference (p<0.001). Each of the value of mean and standard deviation of abnormal group was 41.93±7.58 (MUGA), 41.70±11.49 (ECHO). There was no significant difference (p>0.001). In the result, all 30 cases of normal group showed the same reading. 8 out of 30 cases in abnormal group showed inconsistency of the reading.
Conclusion : We could confirm the correlation of the EF in MUGA and ECHO statistically. There was difference between
abnormal groups from the result of reading. If we are aware of the result according to the different cardiac function categorization, MUGA and ECHO can be used as even more accurate interchangeable test.
