  • ABSTRACT: The role of medical history and physical examination in the diagnosis of cardiac dysfunction seems to be progressively replaced by imaging technologies and laboratory investigations. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether symptoms and signs still provide clues for the diagnosis of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, independently made by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A group of 90 patients in stable clinical conditions and scheduled for cardiac MRI was prospectively examined by two experienced cardiologists, who were unaware of patient conditions and indications to MRI. Patients were questioned regarding their history of dyspnoea on exertion, orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnoea, nocturia, cough, fatigue and sweating; patients also underwent general physical examination, inspection and palpation of the chest and auscultation of the heart and lungs. Left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) by MRI was 48 ± 16% (range 13 - 76%). The variables associated with a lower LV EF at univariate analysis were the following: dyspnea on ordinary or less-than-ordinary exertion (p 0.01), orthopnea (p 0.01), nocturia (p 0.05), jugular venous distention (p 0.05), hepatomegaly (p 0.005), prominent point of maximal impulse (p (literal)
