Abstract | Background: Current imaging guidelines recommend using at least 16 ECG gates when performing MUGA and cardiac SPECT to assess left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). However, for Rubidium-82 ( Methods: The study comprised 25 healthy volunteers (median age 23 years) who underwent repeat MPI sessions employing Results: Similar LVEF and LVEF reserve estimates were found for the 8- and 16-gated reconstructions ([%] LVEF (8/16 gates): rest = 61 ± 6/64 ± 6, stress = 68 ± 7/71 ± 6, LVEF reserve (8/16 gates): 8 ± 3/6 ± 4, and all P ≥ 0.13). Similar test-retest repeatability measures were observed for rest and stress LVEF and their reserves [LVEF (8/16 gates); Rest = 4.5/4.6 (P = 0.81), Stress = 3.5/3.2 (P = 0.33), LVEF reserve = 46.7/49.3 (P = 0.13)]. Conclusion: In healthy subjects, 8 and 16 ECG gates can be used interchangeably if only volumetric assessments are desired. However, if filling and emptying rates are of interest, a minimum of 16 ECG gates should be employed. |
