Does intravenous digital subtraction ventriculography accurately estimate left ventricular volumes and ejection fraction compared to left ventricle cineangiography in patients undergoing cardiac catheterization?
Intravenous digital subtraction ventriculography is a reliable and less invasive method for estimating left ventricular volumes and ejection fraction compared to cineangiography.
Perondi et al. (1991) studied this question.
