Quantification of LV systolic Fcn
CMR - Gold Standard Quantification of LV & RV Function: 1. Enhanced accuracy - No geometric assumptions1 2. Superior reproducibility2ïƒ - More reliable for serial evaluation (e.g. LVH, VHD) - Post MI or HF (U6) but if echo limited or discordant info (A8) - Cardiotoxic therapy with LGE (Late Gadolinium Enhancement) (A8) 1 - Chuang JACC 2000 2 - Bellenger NG.
