Determination of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction Using Cardiac Angioscintigraphy

• Status: Unknown status
• Trial end date: 2018-05-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The purpose is to determine whether measurements of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) obtained with angiographies recorded by conventional Anger camera or D-SPECT camera are equivalent.

Secondary purposes are:

• To evaluate the influence of cardiac activity recorded by D-SPECT camera on equivalences defined in primary purpose

• To evaluate the influence of the indication for the examination with a distinct analysis of a group having the examination for a known or suspected cardiomyopathy (LVEF often abnormally low) and a group having the examination for a chemotherapy supervision with heart initially considered healthy (LVEF often normal).

• Phase: N/A
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No
