Abstract

A combined program in SYMA has been developed. It gives parameters for the left ventricle (LV) as well as for the right ventricle (RV); it also can be used as a basis for more specific details. We tried indeed to get more informations with less costs and time. Studying 163 patients (the mean age was 62 years) we have seen that ejection fraction (EF), wallmotion (WM) and CINE data show good results even in more complex events. From different points of view positive and negative aspects were discussed mainly concerning the role of nuclear medicine in clinic al cardiology. Typical samples have been shown. Final results are built up by two components; primarily the number of theoretical ideas are very helpful but otherwise practical experiences perfect the whole impression.
