Radionuclide cardiac ejection fractions: a useful disparity between LAO and LPO views.
The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was measured from ECG gated blood pool radionuclide studies. The LAO and LPO views gave different values for the LVEF, however, the difference was not a random error, but was specifically related to the site of impaired myocardial function, implying that the difference may have diagnostic significance.
