    Area of Science:

    • Nuclear Medicine
    • Cardiovascular Physiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Left ventricular stroke volume is a critical indicator of cardiac function.
    • Accurate, non-invasive methods for stroke volume measurement are essential for clinical assessment.
    • Existing methods may require invasive procedures or complex bolus injections.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a new non-invasive nuclear medicine procedure for determining left ventricular stroke volume.
    • To evaluate the feasibility of individual calibration and single-injection protocols.
    • To compare the novel method's results with a standard clinical technique.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a first-pass evaluation for individual calibration of scintigraphic counts.
    • Employed a simplified injection technique, avoiding delta-shaped bolus.

  • Measured stroke volume at rest and during various exercise levels using a single blood sample and injection.

    • Main Results:

    • The nuclear medicine procedure demonstrated accurate determination of left ventricular stroke volume.
    • Results obtained at rest and during exercise showed good correlation (r = 0.86) with the thermodilution method.
    • The method allows for serial stroke volume measurements from a single injection.

    Conclusions:

    • The described nuclear medicine procedure offers a non-invasive and efficient approach to measure left ventricular stroke volume.
    • This method simplifies data acquisition, enabling assessments during different physiological states like exercise.
    • The technique shows promise as a valuable tool in cardiovascular diagnostics.
