Tc-99m sestamibi Myocardial Perfusion Gated Spect Normal Ejection Fraction

           LVEF is significantly higher in women (p < 0.00005). These values are similar to others found in the literature. In women, heart volumes are smaller and then to keep cardiac output in adequate amount, ejection fraction increases to maintain systolic volume.
