Polarity status of trigger signal during ECG-gating affects parameters of LV function in gated myocardial perfusion SPECT

The polarity status is one of the important items of specifications of trigger signal from cardiac trigger monitors with two options, either positive or negative. Some systems allow the user to set the polarity of trigger signal before imaging. Efforts should be made to set the polarity status according to the recommendations provided by the manufacturers. In case of inappropriate selection, changes in computation of end-systolic and...
