Arterial Flow Volume (mL) | Ventricular Stroke Volume (mL) | Paired t Test | Pearson Correlation | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Ascending aorta (n = 109) | 62.2 ± 18.9 | 2D short-axis cine LV | 70.9 ± 20.6 | p < 0.001 | r = 0.90, p < 0.0001 |
3D whole-heart LV | 62.2 ± 19.9 | p = 0.982 | r = 0.85, p < 0.0001 | ||
Pulmonary artery (n = 77) | 102.7 ± 30.9 | 2D short-axis cine RV | 102.3 ± 31.9 | p = 0.83 | r = 0.90, p < 0.0001 |
