Overview

M-mode may improve reproducibility of coronary artery measurements in athletes; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.

Structured PICO

P
Population
125 healthy, male top-level athletes assigned to six groups according to the size of their left ventricular mass (≤200, 201-250, 251-300, 301-350, 351-400, or >400 g).
O
Outcome
Inter-observer variability and correlation of echocardiographic measurements of proximal coronary artery diameter (at ~1 cm from the aortic ostium) using M-Mode and 2-D imaging.surrogate

Echocardiographic measurement of proximal coronary artery size in athletes demonstrates good inter-observer correlation, with M-mode imaging providing lower variability than 2D imaging.
