Abstract
The 95% confidence range defining the limits of agreement between ejection fraction by impedance cardiography and ejection fraction by radionuclide ventriculography is not clinically acceptable. In the opinion of the authors impedance cardiography should not be used in place of radionuclide ventriculography for the assessment of ejection fraction at this time.
