Key result
Automated measurement of LV volumes and LVEF using the Philips EPIQ system significantly reduced average analysis time compared to manual tracing (116 vs 217 seconds/patient, P < .0001).
Why the study?
Does automated measurement of LV volumes and LVEF using the Philips EPIQ system provide accurate and more efficient assessments compared to manual tracing in patients in sinus rhythm?

Does automated measurement of LV volumes and LVEF using the Philips EPIQ system provide accurate and more efficient assessments compared to manual tracing in patients in sinus rhythm?
Absolute Event Rate: 116% vs 217%
p-value: p=< .0001
Automated echocardiographic measurement of LV volumes and ejection fraction using the Philips EPIQ system is significantly faster than and highly concordant with manual tracing.
Hovnanians et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Patients in sinus rhythm. Automated measurement using image analysis software a2DQ on the Philips EPIQ system vs. Manually traced biplane Simpson's method was evaluated on Average analysis time per patient (p=< .0001). Automated measurement of LV volumes and LVEF using the Philips EPIQ system significantly reduced average analysis time compared to manual tracing (116 vs 217 seconds/patient, P < .0001).
