[Volumetric indices of the left ventricle in patients with ischemic heart disease].

In addition to the conventional indices of radionuclide angiography with ECG-gait in equilibrium, the authors determined the volume indices of the left ventricle at rest by the so-called nongeometric method in 30 patients with ischemic heart disease. Patients without myocardial infarct (13 subjects) had decreased total left-ventricular ejection fraction (EF), as a result of increase in the end systolic volume index (ESVI) in one of the tested patients. Changes in the regional fractions and in the wall kinetics were detected in 6, resp.
