UNLABELLED: Ejection fraction (EF) and end-diastolic and end-systolic volume index (EDVI/ ESVI) derived from ventriculography are important prognostic parameters. Cine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using a steady-state, free-precession sequence (SSFP) offers excellent delineation of the endocardial borders and highly reproducible and accurate results for cardiac volumes. We evaluated MRI volumetry against routine x-ray ventriculography. In 200 patients EF, EDVI and ESVI were measured with MRI volumetry and x-ray ventriculography. The same MRI protocol was applied to 102 healthy persons in order to establish reference values. In healthy subjects mean EF was 68.8% +/- 5.4% (range 59-84%), mean EDVI 69 +/- 10 (43-90) and mean ESVI 22 +/- 5.8 (10-35 ml). In the patients, overall correlation (Spearman's R) of MRI with ventriculography was 0.86 for EF, 0.77 for EDVI and 0.88 for ESVI. For postextrasystolic beats (38% of the measurements), R was 0.73/0.65/0.73 for EF/EDVI/ESVI. MRI correlated best with biplane ventriculography during sinus rhythm (0.96/0.85/0.93); the worst correlation (0.78/0.81/0.83) resulted from patients with wall motion abnormalities in comparison to monoplane x-ray ventriculography. CONCLUSION: Contemporary MRI volumetry compares well to invasive data obtained under optimal conditions. In view of the known limitations of single plane ventriculography, MRI seems to allow exact volumetry independent from regional wall motion abnormalities.
