Why the study?
Does M-mode echocardiography accurately estimate left ventricular mass compared to MRI in hypertensive patients?
Does M-mode echocardiography accurately estimate left ventricular mass compared to MRI in hypertensive patients?
M-mode echocardiography significantly overestimates left ventricular mass compared to MRI in hypertensive patients due to geometrical assumptions.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Caution advised using M-mode LVM estimates in hypertension; leaves open optimal validation against MRI in prospective studies.
Missouris et al. (1996) studied this question.
