Structured PICO

Do CCT and RT3DE provide comparable measurements of left ventricular volumes to CMR?

I
Intervention
Cardiac Computed Tomography (CCT) and Real-Time 3D Echocardiography (RT3DE)
C
Comparator
Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) reference
O
Outcome
Left ventricular volumessurrogate

CCT overestimates left ventricular volumes compared to CMR, whereas RT3DE is closer to CMR but more variable.

Abstract

CCT provides highly reproducible measurements of left ventricular volumes, which are significantly larger than CMR values. RT3DE measurements compared more favorably with the CMR reference, albeit with higher variability.
