ACR Appropriateness Criteria® chronic chest pain-high probability of coronary artery disease
2011, Journal of the American College of RadiologyCitation Excerpt :This technique can be used to identify patients with “balanced” 3-vessel disease, which can be missed on perfusion studies, as well as for differentiating attenuation artifacts from myocardial infarction [9]. Stress ejection fraction has also been shown to be an independent predictor of the risk for cardiac death [20,21]. However, radionuclide ventriculography is rarely used because it has largely been replaced by SPECT MPI; hence, the availability of and expertise with this method are very limited.

2003, Journal of the American Society of EchocardiographyCitation Excerpt :There was no difference in the percentage of error irrespective of which algorithm (MANUAL SIMP or AUTO EF) was used to determine LVEF. LVEF is an important prognostic indicator for patients after myocardial infarction,1,19 coronary artery bypass operation, and for those with valvular heart disease20 and congestive heart failure.1,2,21,22 Echocardiography is a rapid, noninvasive method for the assessment of LVEF; however, inadequate endocardial definition limits its accuracy and use.11
Contrast-enhanced quantitation of left ventricular ejection fraction: What is the best method?
2001, Journal of the American Society of EchocardiographyCitation Excerpt :The use of contrast-enhanced power harmonic imaging resulted in the smallest mean percentage of error irrespective of which algorithm (Quinones' or SIMP) was used to determine LVEF. LVEF is an important prognostic indicator for patients after MI,19 coronary artery bypass surgery, and for those with valvular heart disease20 and congestive heart failure.1,2,21,22 Echocardiography is a rapid, noninvasive method for the assessment of LVEF; however, inadequate endocardial definition limits its accuracy and use.11
