Radionuclide angiography in the quantitation of mitral regurgitation

JS Videll, FJ Lumia, PA Germon, V Maranhao, RM MacMillan and LJ Gessman

First pass radionuclide angiography (RA) was used to assess its ability to detect and quantitate the presence of left-sided regurgitation due to isolated mitral regurgitation (MR). In this study the nuclear regurgitant fraction (NRF) obtained from first pass RA was correlated with the results of contrast ventriculography (CV) in 50 patients, 18 with and 32 without MR. The correlation between CV and RA in the confirmation and quantification of isolated MR revealed a sensitivity of 100 percent and a specificity of 97 percent in patients with LVEF greater than or equal to 35 percent.
