Abstract :
We assessed the utility of equilibrium radionuclide ventriculography for assessing function of the systemic right ventricle by comparing it with cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in subjects who had undergone the Mustard or Senning operations for complete transposition of the great arteries. The 95% limits of agreement for right ventricular ejection fraction by the 2 techniques were 15.8% to −16.0%, demonstrating that equilibrium radionuclide ventriculography has good agreement with CMR and provides a good alternative in cases in which CMR is not available or appropriate.
