Cardiac.. is it gating or gaiting?

[Guest guest]

Here's the context: The patient had an adenosine dual isotope myocardial

SPECT study with no evidence of ischemia or infarct. There was global

hypokinesis with ejection fraction of 21%. However, the ejection fraction

may be inaccurate from the gating/gaiting as patient had variable RR

response during atrial fibrillation.

I thought I had a note in my Lil Red Notebook about gating versus gaiting,

but it's not there, and what I'm seeing in Stedman's Radiology/Oncology

words isn't helping me decide which it should be.. gating or gaiting.

Thanks in advance.
