Assessment of LV EF

[DrHeartMD]

Hi guys,

WHen I was at BIDMC for my itnerview day the cheif resident (a one year post cards fellow) mentioned about a study assessing measurement of LV EF using Echo, Radionuclide ventriculography and Left ventriculography and compared these to a gold standard of MRI, and foudn that Echo showed the best correlation...I was trying to find this article, but have done some searchign and couldnt come up with anything yet...was hoping someone could lend me a hand...thanks
