Why the study?

Is transthoracic three-dimensional echocardiography accurate compared to MRI or surgery for defining the morphology of atrial septal defects?

Population

34 patients with secundum ASD, mean age 20 (SD 17) years, 14 male, 20 female.

Comparison

Transthoracic three-dimensional echocardiography… vs Magnetic resonance imaging or intraoperative…

Design

Cross-sectional

Implication

Supports 3D echocardiography for noninvasive ASD assessment; leaves open need for prospective validation before routine adoption.

Is transthoracic three-dimensional echocardiography accurate compared to MRI or surgery for defining the morphology of atrial septal defects?

Population

34 patients with secundum ASD, mean age 20 (SD 17) years, 14 male, 20 female.

Intervention

Transthoracic three-dimensional echocardiography using standard grey scale imaging (GSI) and Doppler myocardial imaging (DMI)

Comparator

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or intraoperative surgical findings

Outcome

Maximum and minimum vertical and horizontal ASD dimension, and distances to inferior and superior vena cava, coronary sinus, and tricuspid valvesurrogate

Transthoracic 3D echocardiography, particularly using Doppler myocardial imaging in adults, accurately assesses ASD morphology compared to MRI and surgical findings.
