Nuclear Ventriculogram

Aka: Nuclear Ventriculogram, MUGA Scan
  1. Indications
    1. CHF assessment
      1. Echocardiogram difficult due to body size
  2. Advantages
    1. Very accurate in assessing Left Ventricular function
  3. Disadvantages
    1. Assesses Left Ventricular Function only
    2. Must be in sinus rhythm
