Why the study?
Does real-time three-dimensional echocardiography agree with tissue Doppler imaging for assessing intraventricular dyssynchrony in patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy?
Does real-time three-dimensional echocardiography agree with tissue Doppler imaging for assessing intraventricular dyssynchrony in patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy?
Real-time three-dimensional echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging show poor agreement in evaluating the magnitude and site of intraventricular dyssynchrony in ischaemic cardiomyopathy, likely due to differences in assessing radial versus longitudinal timing.

RT3DE and TDI should not be used interchangeably for dyssynchrony assessment in ischaemic cardiomyopathy; leaves open need for outcome-validated standardization.
