Key result
Single plane cineangiography accurately assessed left ventricular volumes, demonstrating significantly reduced ejection fraction and ejection rate in patients with cardiomyopathy.
Why the study?
Does single plane cineangiography accurately assess left ventricular volumes and function compared to biplane techniques in patients with various cardiac conditions?
Population
Patients with mitral stenosis, chronic compensated pressure and volume overloads, and cardiomyopathy
Comparison
Single plane cineangiography vs Biplane techniques (reported by others)

Single-plane cineangiography may aid LV assessment in cardiomyopathy; leaves open prospective validation versus biplane standards.
Observational
Does single plane cineangiography accurately assess left ventricular volumes and function compared to biplane techniques in patients with various cardiac conditions?
Single plane cineangiography is an effective method for determining left ventricular volumes and function, demonstrating that ejection fraction and rate are more sensitive indicators of LV dysfunction than end-diastolic pressure.
Chatterjee et al. (1971) conducted an observational in Left ventricular dysfunction. Single plane cineangiography vs. Biplane techniques was evaluated on Left ventricular volumes, ejection fraction, and ejection rate. Single plane cineangiography accurately assessed left ventricular volumes, demonstrating significantly reduced ejection fraction and ejection rate in patients with cardiomyopathy.
