Gating failure can result in underestimation of cardiac function in myocardial perfusion scintigraphy

J Nucl Cardiol. 2022 Aug;29(4):2038-2041. doi: 10.1007/s12350-020-02430-8. Epub 2020 Nov 11.

Abstract

Here, we present a case with a pacemaker due to an atrioventricular (AV) block 2 Mobitz type, in whom a gating failure resulted in a relevant underestimation of cardiac function in myocardial perfusion scintigraphy. A set of quality control steps for gating errors is proposed.
