Different software programs significantly alter radionuclide left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) measurements. This impacts normal value criteria and patient data comparison across centers.

Area of Science:

  • Nuclear Cardiology
  • Cardiovascular Imaging
  • Medical Software Evaluation

Background:

  • Radionuclide left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is a key metric in heart failure assessment.
  • Automatic software programs aim to standardize LVEF calculation.
  • Variability in LVEF measurements can affect clinical decision-making.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the performance of three automatic programs (P1, P2, P3) for radionuclide LVEF evaluation.
  • To highlight the clinical implications of differences observed between programs.

Main Methods:

  • Gated radionuclide ventriculography performed on 73 subjects (15 healthy, 58 with heart failure).
  • Scintigraphic data processed using three distinct automatic LVEF programs (P1, P2, P3).

  • Reproducibility assessed (inter-observer, intra-observer, auto-manual); statistical analysis of LVEF values and regression studies.

    • Main Results:

    • All programs demonstrated good reproducibility (inter-observer, intra-observer, auto-manual).
    • Significant differences in mean normal LVEF values were found between P1 (77%), P2 (63%), and P3 (68%).
    • Pathological LVEF values differed significantly between P2 (26%) and P1/P3 (32%). Linear regression analysis showed poor agreement between programs.

    Conclusions:

    • Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) normality criteria are program-dependent.
    • Inter-program measurement of LVEF exhibits poor reproducibility.
    • Caution is advised when comparing LVEF data across different centers or software systems.
