Why the study?
Does echocardiographic automated border detection accurately diagnose abnormal left ventricular function compared to radionuclide ventriculography?
Does echocardiographic automated border detection accurately diagnose abnormal left ventricular function compared to radionuclide ventriculography?
Echocardiographic automated border detection systematically overestimates ejection fraction compared to radionuclide ventriculography, but with an adjusted threshold, it provides high sensitivity and specificity for detecting left ventricular dysfunction.

May support ABD-EF screening for LV dysfunction with adjusted thresholds; leaves open prospective validation versus RVG.
Lucariello et al. (1997) studied this question.
