How does left ventricular function change during graded supine exercise as assessed by two-minute equilibrium gated blood pool scanning in normal subjects?
Two-minute equilibrium gated blood pool scanning demonstrates that normal subjects increase their left ventricular ejection fraction during exercise primarily through a reduction in end-systolic volume.
Kalff et al. (1980) studied this question.
