Further to Muga vs Echo. I just had an echo and my LVEF, measured three times, was 63, 61, 62, which is just about what my Muga's have been showing. The technician also looked extensively at right ventricle and the full heart, contractions, etc.,but I don't yet have the radiologist's report on that, which is my main concern. However, the technician did tell me that they don't measure right ventricle flow, as it would be too difficult to measure, and that the left is really the important measurement with respect to EF. And, finally, the echo was so much easier to do, no needles, and no approvals needed from my insurance. So echo is the way I plan to go in the future.
