Does fractal analysis provide accurate and reproducible quantification of left ventricular trabeculae for LVNC diagnosis compared to current CMR criteria?
Fractal analysis provides a reproducible and accurate quantitative measure of left ventricular trabeculation, offering a potentially superior diagnostic tool for LVNC compared to standard CMR criteria.
FD is higher in LVNC patients compared to healthy volunteers and is higher in healthy blacks than in whites. Fractal analysis provides a quantitative measure of trabeculation and has high reproducibility and accuracy for LVNC diagnosis when compared to current CMR criteria.
