Cardiovascular nuclear medicine: a progress report.
Providing insights into the functional state of the myocardium not available from other techniques, cardiovascular nuclear medicine is being applied more and more in coronary care units, where it makes possible frequent monitoring of function, and in exercise testing of outpatients. In addition, a nuclear "stethoscope" that generates a left ventricular volume curve may soon bring this valuable resource into office practice.
