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.
In young pediatric patients with a functional single ventricle, matrix-array 3DE measurements of mass and volumes compare well with those obtained by CMR. 3DE will provide an important modality for the serial analysis of ventricular size and performance in young patients with functional single ventricles.
