Structured PICO

Does contrast-enhanced 3D echocardiography improve the accuracy of left ventricular volume measurement compared to other echocardiographic techniques and MRI?

P
Population
Patients undergoing left ventricular volume measurement, including those with previous infarction
I
Intervention
Contrast-enhanced three-dimensional echocardiography (CE-3DE) and contrast-enhanced two-dimensional echocardiography (CE-2DE)
C
Comparator
Non-contrast three-dimensional echocardiography (NC-3DE), other non-contrast techniques, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
O
Outcome
Accurate categorization of left ventricular function and volumesurrogate

Contrast-enhanced 3D echocardiography is superior to other echocardiographic techniques for assessing left ventricular function in patients with previous infarction.

Abstract

CE-2DE is analogous to NC-3DE in accurate categorization of LV function. However, CE-3DE is feasible and superior to other NC- and CE-techniques in patients with previous infarction.
