Abstract
Background Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is the gold standard for LV volumetric assessment. Detailed tracing of the endocardial border, including papillary muscles and trabeculations, can be time consuming. In many centres it is clinical practice to simplify this and trace the general outline of the endocardial border instead. Such analysis means that all non-wall adherent trabeculations are included in the LV cavity rather than within the myocardium. We aimed to assess the impact of manual and semiautomated simplified endocardial contouring on the accuracy and reproducibility of LV volumetric assessment.
