Left ventricular volumes were determined sequentially in 31 dogs and simultaneously in 12 by biplane angiocardiography and a dye-dilution, thermal washout technique.The mean ejected fraction (SV/EDV; systolic volume/end diastolic volume) was significantly higher when measured by angiocardiography (....
