Methods Consecutive patients (n = 204) undergoing a standard clinical CMR using either 1.5T or 3T MRI were enrolled. Whole-body impedance cardiography, using the Non-Invasive Cardiac System (NICaS), was performed within 14 days of the CMR. At least 5 consecutive NICaS measurements, calculated every 20 seconds, were averaged to estimate LV stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO) and the surrogate of an LV EF < 55% (i.e., Granov Goor Index < 10). Short axis cine imaging was performed in accordance with CMR Society guidelines. CMR and NICaS results were compared using linear regression. Bland-Altman (BA) plots were incrementally used to evaluate individual variability in modality correlation over the range of data observed. The capacity of NICaS to predict a CMR-based LV EF < 55% was determined via receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) area under the curve (AUC) analysis. Results The study population included 85 (42%) women, had a mean age of 55 years and a mean CMR EF of 57% (range 22% to 82%). A modest, significant, linear correlation was found between NICaS and CMR LV SV (r = 0.34; p < 0.0001) (Figure 1), though there was substantial variability within subjects over the range of values (Figure 2). Similar results were observed between NICaS and CMR CO (r = 0.19; p = 0.007). No significant linear correlation between the NICaS estimate of LV EF and CMR LV EF was observed (r = 0.13; p = 0.07). There were 72 (35%) subjects with a CMR EF < 55%. ROC analysis showed an AUC for the NICaS LV EF surrogate of 0.53 for predicting a CMR LV EF < 55% with a sensitivity of 41% (95% CI: 30% to 53%) and specificity of 68% (95% CI: 59% to 76%).
