- Abstract
Aims: Left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction is an important determinant of prognosis in heart failure. We evaluated the accuracy of a novel algorithm for LV ejection fraction quantification based on indicator dilution curve (IDC) principles using ultrasound contrast as indicator, and compared the results with contrast enhanced biplane LV ejection fraction assessment.
