Abstract
Echocardiography is an established technique for evaluating left ventricular (LV) function with numerous studies showing an excellent correlation between echocardiographic and cineangiographic dimensions in patients without regional dyskinesia. There are several explanations for some of the minor discrepancies that exist, and it is the purpose of this investigation to systematically analyze the variable effects of respiration and the point selected as “end diastole” on echocardiographic LV dimensions.
