↵* 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.
