Right Ventricular Hypertrophy and Pulmonary Hypertension: A Correlation Analysis

April 3, 2009 updated by: University of Cincinnati

Right Ventricular Hypertrophy and Pulmonary Hypertension: A Correlation Analysis Between Tc-99m Tetrofosmin SPECT Adn Echocardiography

The study hypothesis is that a quantitative index can be derived from Tc-99m myocardial perfusion scans that accurately identifies the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy and pulmonary hypertension. Echocardiography provides the reference standard.
