[Angioscintigraphy in the development of left ventricular dysfunction and prognosis of ischemic heart diseases].

Radionuclide angiography at rest or on effort is one of the most valuable diagnostic and prognostic non-invasive methods for investigating left ventricular function. This procedure provides perfectly reproducible quantitative information; However, its usefulness in detecting myocardial ischaemia is debatable: on the other hand, its prognostic value is uncontested and its role in therapeutic assessment, especially in myocardial infarction, is growing.
