Key result
A bedside radionuclide technique using 113mIndium to measure right ventricular ejection fraction correlated well with biplane right ventriculography (r=0.82).
Why the study?
Does a bedside radionuclide technique accurately measure right ventricular ejection fraction compared to biplane right ventriculography in men with coronary artery disease or acute myocardial infarction?
Population
60 men total: 34 men for validation, and 26 men with acute transmural myocardial infarction.

Effect estimate: r=0.82
A bedside radionuclide technique using 113mIndium accurately measures right ventricular ejection fraction, correlating well with biplane right ventriculography.
Steele et al. (1977) conducted an observational in Acute transmural myocardial infarction (n=60). Radionuclide technique using 113mIndium vs. Biplane right ventriculography was evaluated on Correlation of right ventricular ejection fraction measurement (r=0.82). A bedside radionuclide technique using 113mIndium to measure right ventricular ejection fraction correlated well with biplane right ventriculography (r=0.82).
