In this issue of the Journal of Nuclear Cardiology, A. Gimelli, R. Liga et al. report on left ventricular (LV) mass determination using two commercially available softwares that they applied to cadmium-zinc-telluride (CZT) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), and compared results to cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) which was the reference standard. 1 For their study, they retrospectively identified n= 25 patients who underwent MPI with gated 99mTc-tetrofosmin acquired on a CZT camera and had a cardiac MRI within 12±3 weeks. To put the authors’ work on LV mass determination in perspective, we will address the importance, accepted methods, and nuclear imaging approaches to LV mass measurement. A common cardiac adaptive mechanism in the setting of hemodynamic overload is the compensatory increase in LV mass, as explained by the Law of
