1.Prior to by pass surgery one must assess the pumping function of the heart by various techniques like-
Dobutamine Stress Echo or stress thallium or resting MUGA (Multigated Acquisition) scan
. But they were not very reliable and not accurate.
PET-scan (Positron Emission Tomography) was very effective in assessing the heart function.
