    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Nuclear Medicine
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Quantitative equilibrium radionuclide ventriculography (qERNV) is a valuable tool for cardiac assessment.
    • Understanding resting cardiac function is crucial for diagnosing and managing heart conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic utility of resting qERNV time and velocity parameters in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and cardiomyopathy (CMP).
    • To compare the sensitivity of various qERNV parameters in diagnosing CHD stages.

    Main Methods:

    • Statistical analysis of resting qERNV data from 388 patients.
    • Evaluation of time and velocity parameters including ejection time (ET), filling time (FT), time to peak filling rate (TpFR), mean ejection rate (mER), peak ejection rate (pER), and peak filling rate (pFR).

  • Comparison of parameter values in patients with CHD (various stages, with/without infarction history) and CMP against normal controls.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant changes in pER, pFR, ET, mER, gEF, EDV, and TpFR were observed in CHD and CMP patients compared to normal.
    • Resting qERNV demonstrated higher sensitivity for diagnosing CHD (stages I-III) using mER (30-59%), pER (40-65%), pFR (48-60%), and ET (58-61%) compared to gEF (19-56%).

    Conclusions:

    • Resting qERNV parameters, particularly time and velocity metrics, are sensitive indicators of cardiac dysfunction in CHD and CMP.
    • Specific qERNV parameters offer superior diagnostic sensitivity for CHD compared to global ejection fraction.
