title: Evaluation of cardiac function in the presence of frequent ventricular premature beats.
abstract: Frequent ventricular ectopia in an otherwise healthy person is often benign. Nevertheless, for optimal patient management, serious underlying heart disease should be excluded. The authors illustrate the use of list-mode equilibrium blood-pool ventriculography for defining left ventricular function.
