Official Title: Right Ventricular Hypertrophy and Pulmonary Hypertension: A Correlation Analysis Between Tc-99m Tetrofosmin SPECT Adn Echocardiography

Brief Summary: The study hypothesis is that a quantitative index can be derived from Tc-99m myocardial perfusion scans that accurately identifies the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy and pulmonary hypertension. Echocardiography provides the reference standard.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: University of Cincinnati

Current Primary Outcome: Sensitivity and specificity of quantitation of Tc-99m perfusion scans for identification of pulmonary hypertension. [ Time Frame: 2 years ]

Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:
