Salvage : AAR minus FIS (% of left ventricle) Salvage index (%): Salvage / AAR. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (%): (EDV - ESV)/EDV. Each myocardial scintigraphy is performed after administration of 700 ± 10% MBq 99mTc-Sestamibi as an intravenous bolus injection. Acquisition is performed as gated SPECT within 8 hours after tracer injection. The myocardial perfusion is analyzed and quantitized by the use of the interpretation software QPS and QGS. At each examination partly myocardial perfusion defect as a percentage of left ventricular myocardium, partly left ventricular end-diastolic and end-systolic volume (EDV and ESV) and partly regional wall motion and wall thickening is determined.
