Evaluating Cardiotoxicity in Breast Cancer Patients Treated with HER2 Inhibitors: Could a Combination of Radionuclide Ventriculography and Cardiac Biomarkers Predict the Cardiac Impact? [PDF]
Simple Summary Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women, causing over 500,000 deaths worldwide. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 is overexpressed in roughly 15–20% of the breast cancer cases diagnosed nowadays, denoting poor

BNP predicts chemotherapy-related cardiotoxicity and death: comparison with gated equilibrium radionuclide ventriculography. [PDF]
UNLABELLED:Cardiotoxicity is a dose-limiting side-effect of cancer chemotherapeutics such as anthracyclines. The drug-induced cardiac toxicity is currently monitored with repeated assessments of the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) using ...

Comparison between Radionuclide Ventriculography and Echocardiography for Quantification of Left Ventricular Systolic Function in Rats Exposed to Doxorubicin [PDF]
Background: Radionuclide ventriculography (RV) is a validated method to evaluate the left ventricular systolic function (LVSF) in small rodents. However, no prior study has compared the results of RV with those obtained by other imaging methods in this ...

Radionuclide ventriculography phase analysis for risk stratification of patients undergoing cardiotoxic cancer therapy. [PDF]
Accurate diagnostic tools to identify patients at risk of cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) are critical. For patients undergoing cardiotoxic cancer therapy, ejection fraction assessment using radionuclide ventriculography (RNVG) is ...

Determination of Diastolic Function by Radionuclide Ventriculography [PDF]
Diastolic filling can be measured by radionuclide ventriculography with use of several techniques including those based on gated and list-mode acquisitions, the first-pass method, and the nuclear probe. Radionuclide ventriculography specifically assesses volumes, rates of volume change, and intervals during ventricular filling.
