Why the study?
Does quantitative analysis by multidetector computed tomography accurately differentiate normal from abnormal regional left ventricular function compared to visual analysis?
Does quantitative analysis by multidetector computed tomography accurately differentiate normal from abnormal regional left ventricular function compared to visual analysis?
Quantitative evaluation of regional myocardial function by multidetector computed tomography, particularly using myocardial thickening, can accurately differentiate between normal, hypokinetic, and akinetic segments.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
MDCT myocardial thickening supports differentiation of regional LV function; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
Lessick et al. (2009) studied this question.
