Prevalence of normal resting left ventricular function with normal rest electrocardiograms.
This study examined the prevalence of normal resting left ventricular function in 2,275 patients referred for technetium-99m sestamibi stress imaging. The strongest predictor of normal left ventricular function was a normal electrocardiogram at rest.
