Good correlation supports echocardiography for LVEF in research dogs; leaves open applicability to clinical cases or diseased states.
Does echocardiography correlate with gated equilibrium radionuclide ventriculography for determining left ventricular ejection fraction in healthy anesthetized dogs?
In a canine model, left ventricular ejection fraction calculated by M-mode and two-dimensional echocardiography correlates well with measurements from gated equilibrium radionuclide ventriculography.
Sisson et al. (1989) studied this question.
