Why the study?
Does matrix-array 3-dimensional echocardiography compare well with CMR for assessing volumes, mass, and ejection fraction in young pediatric patients with a functional single ventricle?
Population

May support 3DE as CMR alternative for volumes/mass in young single-ventricle patients; leaves open prospective validation for serial use.
Does matrix-array 3-dimensional echocardiography compare well with CMR for assessing volumes, mass, and ejection fraction in young pediatric patients with a functional single ventricle?
Matrix-array 3DE provides a reliable alternative to CMR for the serial analysis of ventricular size and performance in young patients with functional single ventricles.
Soriano et al. (2008) studied this question.
