Comparison of echocardiography and CMR in evaluating cardiac structure and function

	LV size/function	LV stroke volume	LV wall motion	LV wall thickness/mass	LVOTO/SAM	RV size/function	RV stroke volume	RV wall motion	Viability/scar	MV structure	MV function
TTE	++	++	++	+	++++	+	−	+	+	++	+++
TOE	+	+	+	−	++	+	−	+	−	++++	++
CMR	+++	+++	+++	+++	++	+++	+++	++++	++	++	++

CMR, cardiac MRI; LV, left ventricle; LVOTO, left ventricular outflow tract obstruction; MV, mitral valve; RV, right ventricle; SAM, systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve; TOE, transoesophageal echocardiogram; TTE, transthoracic echocardiogram.
