Why the study?
Does real-time three-dimensional echocardiography accurately measure right ventricular mass, volumes, and function compared to cardiac magnetic resonance in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension?
Does real-time three-dimensional echocardiography accurately measure right ventricular mass, volumes, and function compared to cardiac magnetic resonance in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension?
Real-time three-dimensional echocardiography provides accurate assessment of right ventricular remodeling in PAH comparable to CMR, though CMR offers better reproducibility for ejection fraction and mass.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
3DE may support RV volume assessment in PAH when CMR unavailable; leaves open reproducibility for EF and mass.
Grapsa et al. (2009) studied this question.
