To elucidate the after-effect of exercise on left ventricular (LV) function, end-diastolic volume
(EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV) and ejection fraction (LVEF) were evaluated at 1 h after …

Exercise 99mTc-tetrofosmin myocardial scintigraphy is as accurate as exercise 201TI
imaging. Thus far, no data are available on tetrofosmin imaging during pharmacologic …
