Table 4 Intra- and interobserver reproducibilities for left ventricular volumes and ejection fraction by single- and four-beat three-dimensional echocardiography.

From: Three-dimensional echocardiography using single-heartbeat modality decreases variability in measuring left ventricular volumes and function in comparison to four-beat technique in atrial fibrillation

  EDV (ml) ESV (ml) EF (%)
