Does cross-sectional cardiac ultrasonography accurately determine left ventricular volume compared to single-axis echocardiography and biplane angiography?
Cross-sectional cardiac ultrasonography provides clinically useful accuracy for determining left ventricular volume.
Comparison of left ventricular volume determinations by cross-sectional ultrasonography, single-axis echocardiography, and biplane angiography suggests that the cross-sectional technique may be able to determine left ventricular volumes within a clinically useful range of accuracy. Sources of error and means of avoiding them are discussed.
