Abstract

Recently a lot of authors have been trying to determine the usefulness of 3-dimensional echocardiography (TTE 3D) in evaluation of ejection fraction and left ventricular volume, but few attempt to compare it to the current gold standard of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). 3D imaging technics allows to avoid errors caused by geometry of the heart chambers and foreshortened views. American Echocardiographic Guidelines recommend the use of 3-dimensional echocardiography in daily clinical practice. The aim of the study was to establish clinical usefulness of automated 3D TTE software to calculate left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricle end diastolic volume (LVEDV) and left ventricle end systolic volume (LVESV), and to compare those measurements calculated in CMR and in 3D TTE. The aim of the study was to establish clinical usefulness of automated 3D TTE software to calculate left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricle end diastolic volume (LVEDV) and left ventricle end systolic volume (LVESV), and to compare those measurements calculated in CMR and in 3D TTE. The mean LVEF in 3D TTE was 65% +/- 12%; LVEDV 123 ml +/- 67 ml, LVESV 42 ml +/- 29 ml. The CMR LVEF in the study group was 61% +/- 9%, LVEDV 134 ...Continue Reading
