AB  - PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to investigate the association between the 
      cardiothoracic ratio (CTR), transverse cardiac diameter (TCD), and left 
      ventricular (LV) size and systolic function in patients with or without preserved 
      LV ejection fraction (LVEF). METHODS: A total of 181 subjects suspected with 
      coronary artery disease underwent chest radiography (CR) and dual source computed 
      tomography coronary angiography (DSCT-CA). TCD and CTR were derived from CR. The 
      LV size and systolic function parameters, such as LV end-diastolic volume 
      (LVEDV), LV end-systolic volume (LVESV) and LVEF were measured from DSCT-CA. The 
      association between TCD, CTR and LV size and systolic function parameters were 
      analyzed according to LVEF value (< 55%, depressed LVEF group; versus >/= 55%, 
      preserved LVEF group). RESULTS: Both TCD and CTR were higher in the depressed 
      LVEF group compared with the preserved LVEF group. Significant correlations were 
      found between TCD, CTR and LVEDV, LVESV, LVEF in depressed LVEF group. However, 
      there was no significant association detected between CTR and LV size and 
      systolic function parameters in preserved LVEF group. Both the LVEDV and LVESV 
      showed a positive correlation with TCD in preserved LVEF group. CONCLUTION: 
      Although CTR was not a reliable indicator of LV size and systolic function in 
      patients with preserved LVEF, it was correlated with LV size and LVEF in 
      depressed LVEF patients. Furthermore, TCD showed stronger correlations with LV 
      size and systolic function even in patients with preserved LVEF.
