Definition: Radionuclide ventriculography where scintigraphic data is acquired during repeated cardiac cycles at specific times in the cycle, using an electrocardiographic synchronizer or gating device. Analysis of right ventricular function is difficult with this technique; that is best evaluated by first-pass ventriculography (VENTRICULOGRAPHY, FIRST-PASS).      Other names Ventriculography, Gated Radionuclide; Ventriculography, Equilibrium Radionuclide; Scintigraphy, Equilibrium; Radionuclide Ventriculography, Gated; Radionuclide Angiography, Gated; Gated Equilibrium Blood-Pool Scintigraphy; Gated Blood-Pool Scintigraphy; Equilibrium Radionuclide Ventriculography; Equilibrium Radionuclide Angiography; Angiography, Gated Radionuclide; Ventriculographies, Gated Radionuclide; Ventriculographies, Equilibrium Radionuclide; Scintigraphy, Gated Blood-Pool; Scintigraphy, Blood-Pool; Scintigraphies, Gated Blood-Pool; Scintigraphies, Equilibrium; Scintigraphies, Blood-Pool; Radionuclide Ventriculography, Equilibrium; Radionuclide Ventriculographies, Gated; Radionuclide Ventriculographies, Equilibrium
