Does transthoracic 3D echocardiography accurately identify the subsequent development of LV remodelling in patients after myocardial infarction?
The 3D sphericity index assessed by transthoracic 3D echocardiography is a highly predictive variable for the early identification of LV remodelling after myocardial infarction.
Three-dimensional echocardiography can differentiate patients with and without subsequent development of LV remodelling accurately and early on the basis of the 3D sphericity index, a new and highly predictive variable.
