72 patients with CAD, 10 patients with congestive cardiomyopathies and 10 normal subjects were evaluated by radionuclide angiography. Comparison with contrast angiography showed good results for LVEF (r = 0.83). Regional asynergies observed in the radionuclide angiography correlated well with defects in thallium scintigrams. Extent of abnormal wall motion was measured and compared with normals, appreciating the deviation from the normal mean radial shortening. Good correlation could be demonstrated with radionuclide ventriculography. In 80% of congestive cardiomyopathies the right ventricle wall became visible in the thallium scintigram.

72 Patienten mit koronarer Herzerkrankung, 10 Patienten mit kongestiver Kardiomyopathie und 10 Gesunde wurden mit Hilfe der Radionuklid-Ventrikulographie untersucht. Die dabei gewonnene Linksventrikel-Auswurfsfraktion zeigte eine gute Korrelation beim Vergleich mit konventionellen Methoden (r = 0,83). Regionale Akinesien im Radionuklid-Ventri-kulogramm wiesen eine gute Übereinstimmung mit Thalliumdefekten auf. Das Ausmaß einer regionalen Wandbewegungsstörung konnte als Abweichung vom Mittelwert eines Normalkollektivs bestimmt werden. Bei Patienten mit kongestiver Kardiomyopathie fand sich in 80% der Fälle eine Verdickung der Rechtsventrikelwand, die im Thalliumszinti-gramm sichtbar wurde.
