Why the study?
Does real-time 3D echocardiography improve the accuracy of left ventricular mass measurement compared to 2D echocardiography in patients referred for cardiac MRI?
Does real-time 3D echocardiography improve the accuracy of left ventricular mass measurement compared to 2D echocardiography in patients referred for cardiac MRI?
Real-time 3D echocardiography provides more accurate and reliable measurements of left ventricular mass than 2D echocardiography, closely correlating with cardiac MRI.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
RT3D may improve LV mass accuracy over 2D; leaves open need for prospective outcome studies before practice change.
