Prevalence of normal resting left ventricular function with normal rest electrocardiograms

Am J Cardiol. 1997 May 1;79(9):1295-8. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9149(97)00108-2.

Abstract

This study examined the prevalence of normal resting left ventricular function in 2,275 patients referred for technetium-99m sestamibi stress imaging. The strongest predictor of normal left ventricular function was a normal electrocardiogram at rest.
