Equilibrium LVEF measurements appear more reproducible; leaves open effects on management or outcomes.
Is multigated equilibrium imaging more reliable than first pass imaging for measuring left ventricular ejection fraction?
Measurements of left ventricular ejection fraction by equilibrium technique are generally more reproducible than first pass determinations.
Høilund‐Carlsen et al. (1988) studied this question.
