Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - Age < 18 years - Pregnant or lactating woman - Known allergy against any of the ingredients of SonoVue® - Unstable cardiac condition according to the contraindications for SonoVue® (cf. SPC) - Any contraindication to dobutamine stress-echocardiography and/or cardiac MRI - Insufficient acoustic window for adequate echocardiographic examination - Participation in another clinical study with an investigational drug (up to 30 days before inclusion).

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To prove the non-inferiority of SonoVue®-enhanced 3D (volume data) in comparison to SonoVue®-enhanced 2D echocardiogra-phy (apical 2CV+4CV) in determining the global ventricular function (ESV, EDV, EF) at rest. Basis of comparison will be the global ventricular function as determined by cardiac MRI.;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the accuracy and interobserver-variability for the assessment of cardiac volumes and cardiac wall motion in comparison to cardiac MRI.;Primary end point(s): Global ventricular function (ESV, EDV, EF) | — |
