Abstract:
This study was performed on 41 subjects including 10 control subjects aged 57.8+/-6.5 and 31 patients aged 62.5+/-7.4 with old myocardial infarction (OMI), using radionuclide ventriculography (RVG). In conclusion, RVG is a useful method to assess left ventricular systolic function in patients with OMI. Some parameters such as sensitivity, specificity, areas under ROC curve: EF% (93.55; 60.00; 0.912), PER (93.55; 70.00; 0.903) and 1/3ER (93.60; 80.00; 0.929) respectively are higher than those of RVG are. EF% (42.014.9), PER (2.30.7), 1/3ER (1.90.8) in patients with OMI decreased in comparing with the controls. There was a correlation between the classes of clinical heart failure and EF%, PER, 1/3ER respectively (r=-0.52; r=-0.56; r=0.38; p<0.05) in patients with OMI
