Abstract
Simultaneous contrast two-dimensional echocardiograms and contrast ventriculograms were analyzed for 19 cardiac cycles in 6 patients. Ventriculographic volume was underestimated by 10 +/- 4.5% (p less than .001) by the contrast echocardiograms, despite good correlation (r = 0.88). Discrepancies could not be assigned to changes in volume between studies nor to a lack of precise endocardial definition. Simultaneous imaging demonstrated that the ultrasonic transducer was located 33 degrees cephalad to the cardiac apex. Although angiographic volume was severely underestimated, ejection fraction (r = 0.93) and stroke volume (r = 0.90) could be calculated from two-dimensional echocardiograms using regression equations.
