Özet
Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze the systolic part of the left ventricular (LV) volume curve obtained by gated myocardial perfusion imaging with the formula used in exponential decay and to investigate the clinical value of the results. Methods: One hundred fifty eight patients were retrospectively enrolled in the study. The study group was divided into three groups as normal, ischemia, and infarct. The systolic portion of the LV volume curve was also analyzed using the exponential decay formula. The scintigraphic parameter obtained using this formula is called the ejection constant (Ec). Results: The Ec results were 1.8±0.8, 2.7±0.9, 3.5±1 in infarct, ischemia, and normal groups, respectively, and the difference in Ec results between the groups was statistically significant (p≤0.001). Conclusion: It appears that Ec may play a clinical role as a scintigraphic parameter in the evaluation of systolic functions of the left ventricle.
