Implication

May enable non-sedated LV assessment in neonates/infants with CHD; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.

Structured PICO

Does matrix-array 3D echocardiography compare well with MRI for assessing left ventricular volumes and mass in neonates and infants with congenital heart disease?

P
Population
Neonates and infants with congenital heart disease (CHD) and small left ventricles (age appropriate or hypoplastic), particularly those with left-side heart obstructive lesions
I
Intervention
Matrix-array 3D echocardiography
C
Comparator
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
O
Outcome
Left ventricular volumes, mass, and ejection fraction measurementssurrogate

Matrix-array 3D echocardiography provides a valid alternative to MRI for assessing ventricular size and performance in neonates and infants with congenital heart disease and small left ventricles.
