Gating failure can result in underestimation of cardiac function in myocardial perfusion scintigraphy

Gating failure can result in underestimation of cardiac function in myocardial perfusion scintigraphy

Here, we present a case with a pacemaker due to an atrioventricular (AV) block 2 Mobitz type, in whom a gating failure resulted in a relevant underestimation of cardiac function in myocardial perfusion scintigraphy. A set of quality control steps for gating errors is proposed.
