Left ventricular (LV) volumes and mass were evaluated in 10 healthy volunteers with breath-hold cine magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. The results were compared with those obtained with conventional cine MR imaging. The breath-hold studies showed no ghosting artifact, and cardiac edges were clearly identified because of the reduced blurring. Measurements of LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), LV end-systolic volume (LVESV), and LV mass obtained with breath-hold cine MR imaging showed close correlation with those obtained with conventional cine MR imaging (r = .98, .97, and .99, respectively). The interobserver variabilities for LVEDV, LVESV, and LV mass determined with breath-hold cine MR imaging (4.0%, 8.0%, and 3.7%, respectively) were equal to or less than those determined with conventional cine MR imaging (4.0%, 8.6%, and 5.0%, respectively). The authors conclude that breath-hold cine MR imaging is highly useful because an accurate assessment of cardiac function is obtained in less than 5 minutes.
