Why the study?

Does GBPS provide comparable measurements of LV and RV ejection fractions and volumes to CMR in patients with heart disease?

Population

30 patients referred for various symptoms or heart diseases, mean age 61±14 years, 70% men.

Comparison

Gated blood-pool single-photon emission computed… vs Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)

Design

Cross-sectional

Implication

Supports GBPS-CMR agreement for LVEF; leaves open prospective validation before clinical interchangeability.

Does GBPS provide comparable measurements of LV and RV ejection fractions and volumes to CMR in patients with heart disease?

Population

30 patients referred for various symptoms or heart diseases (predominantly ischemic), mean age 61±14 years, 70% men.

Intervention

Gated blood-pool single-photon emission computed tomography (GBPS)

Comparator

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)

Outcome

Left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) ejection fractions (EF) and volumes (end-diastolic volume [EDV] or end-systolic volume [ESV])surrogate

GBPS is a widely available technique that provides comparable assessments of LVEF and RVEF to CMR, with slight differences in volume measurements.
