Digital subtraction left ventriculography using intravenous contrast injection was evaluated as a screening diagnostic method for coronary heart disease. Intravenous ventriculography was performed in 61 patients with 35 cc of contrast medium injected into a central vein (usually the inferior vena cava). Recognition of regional wall motion abnormalities by this technique was shown to be comparable with direct left ventriculography in 40 patients who underwent both imaging modalities at rest. If the rest digital ventriculogram was normal, it was repeated after incremental atrial pacing to the onset of chest pain or to a maximal heart rate of 150 beats/min. |
