correlation between left and right ventricular ejection fractions in patients with ischemic heart disease, documented by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging

ABSTRACT

Introduction: The correlation between right and left ventricular ejection fractions [RVEF and LVEF, respectively] has been studied in only a small number of patients with a marked decrease in RVEF and LVEF. The aim of the present study was to compare LVEF and RVEF in patients with ischemic heart disease. RVEF and LVEF were measured by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance [CMR] imaging
