Eight patients with major depression but otherwise healthy underwent radionuclide cardiography before and during nortriptyline treatment. The second examination was performed when the nortriptyline plasma concentration was within the therapeutic range (60-150 micrograms X l-1). Heart rate, arterial

Background. A method that uses single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) equilibrium radionuclide angiocardiography (ERNA) to measure right ventricular (RV) and left ventricular (LV) volumes (in milliliters) and ejection fraction (EF) is described. Methods and Results. We recorded 35 paired
Lateral wall infarction on DE-CMR, independent of papillary muscle involvement, confers increased risk for ischemic mitral regurgitation.
## Background: We hypothesized that ejection fraction (ef) best predicts cardiovascular death but only measures of ischemia predict relative survival benefit from revascularization compared with medical therapy. ## Methods and results: We followed up 5366 consecutive patients without prior revasc
