Abstract
Considerable recent interest has been focused on the use of noninvasive methods for assessing left ventricular wall motion. Two-dimensional echocardiography (2DE) and gated radionuclide angiography (RNA) have been shown to accurately assess left ventricular segmental wall motion [1, 2, 3, 4]. The current investigation compared both noninvasive techniques with contrast left ventriculography (LVG) in the same patients. When significant discrepancies existed between techniques, coronary artery and valvular anatomy were examined to determine the basis of the discrepancy.
