Effect of gender on cardiovascular risk stratification with ECG gated SPECT left ventricular volume indices and ejection fraction

O Wexler, SR Yoder, JL Elder, ML Mackin… - Journal of nuclear …, 2009 - Elsevier
Background Optimal gender-specific risk prediction using ECG-gated SPECT left ventricular
(LV) volumes and ejection fraction (EF) remains undefined despite reported gender
differences in baseline LV function. Methods ECG-gated SPECT studies of 891
consecutively referred patients (43% women) were evaluated for LV end-systolic and
diastolic volume indices (ESVI, EDVI) and EF. Effects of gender on prediction of hard cardiac
events (HCE) and the combined endpoint of all-cause mortality or non-fatal infarction …
