  • * RVEF can be obtained from SPECT ERNA, though not well validated.

  • ** Pharmacologic stress SPECT ERNA can allow for assessment of these parameters, though there is little contemporary data.

  • BSA = body surface area; LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction; RVEF = right ventricular ejection fraction; PFR = peak filling rate; BP = blood pressure; HR = heart rate.
