Abstract: Background In the assessment of left ventricular stroke volume in cine magnetic resonance, drawing the endocardial contours in short axis slices are difficult at the 1 or 2 most basal slices due to systolic movement of the base towards the apex. The forward flow in the ascending aorta can be quantified using phase contrast velocity mapping. This study investigated which basal slices should be included
