  1. Left ventricular functional parameters for standard multi-slice 2D cine SSFP (M2D-SSFP) and single-breath-hold 3D-whole-heart cine SSFP (3D-SSFP) sequences. No significant differences (P > 0.05) were found between volume and EF on same day. Values are given as mean ± standard deviation. ED, end diastolic; ES, end systolic; GdD, Gadopentetate dimeglumine; GdT, Gadofosveset trisodium.
