Abstract: | The radionuclide measurement of diastolic performance may provide a rapid noninvasive index available in the clinical setting. These measurements may be used to detect coronary artery disease, manifestations of hypertensive heart disease, isolated diastolic heart failure, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The various radionuclide methods to measure diastolic filling are influenced by technological considerations, as well as applying the results in the appropriate clinical context. The importance of these derived measurements and how they correspond to various pathophysiological presentations will be discussed. |
