Estimating left ventricular work by gated blood pool ventriculogram.
Utilizing simplifying assumptions and a formula for ventricular radioactivity versus time, a method is presented for the estimation of systolic ventricular work. This value in MKS units is calculated from data available from the radionuclide blood pool ventriculogram.
