    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a simple ventricular phantom for validating ejection fraction calculations.
    • To present an R-wave stimulator for testing ECG synchronizer interfaces.

    Main Methods:

    • Construction of a simple ventricular phantom.
    • Development of an integrated circuit-based R-wave stimulator.
    • Utilizing the phantom for radionuclide ECG-gated equilibrium studies.

    Main Results:

    • The phantom successfully validated ejection fraction calculations.
    • The R-wave stimulator proved effective for testing ECG synchronizer inputs.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed ventricular phantom is a valuable tool for validating ejection fraction measurements.
    • The R-wave stimulator serves as a useful standalone device for ECG synchronizer testing.
