Are there innate differences in 3D ejection fraction between the sexes detectable by CMR? A CMR study in ~4000 patients

Year: 2009

Type: article

Study design: Observational Study

Abstract: It has long been assumed that the standard mechanical contraction parameter ejection fraction (EF) is the same in male and female hearts. Until recently, the fidelity and reproducibility of imaging techniques guaranteed virtual superimposition of EF, nullifying any gender differences were they to be present. The influence of gender on normal thresholds for EF by CV MRI is unknown.
