Real-time 3-dimensional echocardiography evaluation of intracardiac masses

Echocardiography
Federico M AschNeil J Weissman

Abstract

The size of an intracardiac mass (vegetation, tumor, or thrombus) is an important predictor for embolic events and for response to treatment. Maximum diameter measurements from two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography are routinely used to determine mass size. However, most masses are irregularly shaped, making it difficult to accurately image or select the largest diameter. The selection of a diameter that is not truly the largest may lead to underestimation of the true size of the mass and a misrepresentation of the patients' prognosis. Three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography images the entire volume of a mass allowing for accurate measurements in multiple planes. We tested the hypothesis that measurements of the maximum diameter of a mass by 3D echocardiography are larger than those obtained by 2D echocardiography. Patients with findings of an intracardiac mass by 2D transthoracic (TTE) or transesophageal (TEE) echocardiogram were imaged using real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE) within 24 hours. The complete mass was acquired on RT3DE. Maximum mass diameter was measured on 2D and RT3DE. Comparison of measurements between RT3DE and 2D was performed using correlation coefficients and Bland-Altman analyses. In 19 ...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
