Summary

This research study is designed to evaluate the accuracy of the techniques that are used to analyze heart function. The main purpose of this study is to analyze and compare three different methods of assessment of regional and overall heart function.

Detailed description

The purpose of the present study is to establish the reproducibility and to validate gated blood pool SPECT imaging with application of attenuation correction (ACGBS) in evaluation of left ventricular regional and global function and volumes, by direct comparison with Equilibrium Radionuclide Angiocardiography (ERNA) and 3-dimensional ECHO (3DE).
