Figure 4. Adjusted hazard ratio and 95% confidence interval of systolic assessment test use among 4,650 adults with incident heart failure and at least one available imaging test by hospitals (2005–2008).

Figure 4

A systolic function assessment included any of the following tests individually or in combination: echocardiography, transesophageal echocardiogram, stress echocardiography, SPECT, PET, MRI, nuclear scintigraphy, or left ventriculography.
