"[The] MUGA scan ('multiple-gated acquisition' = gated blood pool study) [enables to] watch [...] the beating of the heart. This allows us to assess how well the heart is working as a pump."

So, the two mentioned tests in brackets, in your quoted sentence, "(..., multigated acquisition scan (MUGA), or gated heart pool study (GHPS))", are actually one and the same test. It really means "MUGA or GHPS", or "MUGA/GHPS". It doesn't mean "two different tests: MUGA and GHPS". A patient can only undergo one heart-pumping test: the MUGA/GHPS.
