[Qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis of local wall motion abnormalities by gated-blood-pool in comparison to biplane cineventriculography (author's transl)].
Left ventricular wall motion at rest was assessed by the following three methods in 37 patients of whom 12 patients had coronary artery lesions of > 75% and Ecg-signs of transmural MI: A) qualitative analysis of GBP, B) semi-quantitative analysis of GBP, C) qualitative analysis of a biplane cineventriculogram. Sensitivity and specificity of each method were evaluated based on the cineventriculographic findings. Specificity of method A was 83%, of method B 100%. Sensitivity of method A was 88%, of method B 84%. Concordance of methods B and C was 92.8% (167/180 left ventricular segments). Discordance between the two methods was found only in 1 segment judged to be akinetic and in 12 segments judged to be hypokinetic by one of the two methods.
