Why the study?

Does three-dimensional wall motion tracking (3D-WMT) echocardiography accurately measure left atrial volume compared to cardiac magnetic resonance in patients referred for CMR?

Population

70 consecutive patients referred for a cardiac magnetic resonance study, mean age 56 ± 18 years, 60% male.

Comparison

Three-dimensional wall motion tracking… vs Cardiac magnetic resonance as the reference…

Design

Cross-sectional

Implication

3D-WMT may support LA volume assessment when CMR is unavailable; leaves open prospective outcome validation.

Does three-dimensional wall motion tracking (3D-WMT) echocardiography accurately measure left atrial volume compared to cardiac magnetic resonance in patients referred for CMR?

Population

70 consecutive patients referred for a cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) study, mean age 56 ± 18 years, 60% male.

Intervention

Three-dimensional wall motion tracking (3D-WMT) echocardiography for left atrial volume assessment

Comparator

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) as the reference standard, and two-dimensional echocardiography (2D-echo)

Outcome

Accuracy of left atrial volume assessment (inter-methods agreement between 3D-WMT and CMR)surrogate

3D-WMT echocardiography is a fast, accurate, and reproducible method for assessing left atrial volume that correlates well with CMR and outperforms standard 2D-echo.
