Sex-specific reference limits of left ventricular ejection fraction and volumes estimated by gated myocardial perfusion imaging for low-risk patients in China: a comparison between three quantitative algorithms

Establishing appropriate reference value limits of left ventricular (LV) functional parameters is fundamental for the assessment of cardiac function. At present, there are no reports aimed at establishing reference limits using gated myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in mainland China.A total of 175 consecutive patients who were defined as low-risk coronary artery disease patients underwent stress Technetium-99m sestamibi (99mTc-MIBI)-gated...
