초록
Recent progress of technology permits us to assess ventricular function and wall motion as well as myocardial perfusion using electrocardiographic gated myocardial perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (GM-SPECT). It is interesting that echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging are moving in the same direction with the use of contrast medium to assess myocardial perfusion. A valid fundamental basis for a new technology is essential for a successful competition. Lee et al. report in this issue the reproducibility of serial measurement of left ventricular function including systolic wall thickening using a novel statistical method. It has important implications such as nitroglycerin or dobutamine application during GM-SPECT. The field of nuclear cardiology must continue to strive toward more sophisticated but straightforward evaluation of cardiac diseases.
