The serial change in left ventricular function was investigated by radionuclide angiocardiography in 25 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Multiple gated equilibrium blood pool imaging was performed at rest before, and at 1, 2 and 4 weeks after the operation and also during exercise on a supine bicycle ergometer before and 4 weeks after surgery. Global ejection fraction at rest was unchanged after CABG while peak ejection rate increased significantly at 1 and 2 weeks (p less than 0.01 and p less than 0.05 respectively) after the operation. Peak filling rate at rest was generally unchanged after surgery but peak filling rate during the first third of diastole at rest decreased significantly at 1 and 2 weeks (p less than 0.01 and p less than 0.05). After CABG, the increases in ejection fraction and peak ejection rate with exercise were significantly greater than those values measured before surgery. The increases, due to exercise, in peak filling rate and peak filling rate during the first third of diastole were unchanged after the operation. Radionuclide angiocardiography affords a safe, noninvasive, and highly reproducible procedure for serially assessing ventricular function in patients undergoing CABG. Our study revealed early diastolic dysfunction within 2 weeks of surgery and that CABG abolished abnormalities in left ventricular function induced by exercise.
