Overview

May aid bedside LVEF estimation in dyspnea; hypothesis-generating pending prospective validation.

Structured PICO

Does bedside echocardiographic measurement of mitral valve movements accurately estimate LVEF compared to comprehensive echocardiography in adult patients with dyspnea?

P
Population
118 adult patients whose principal symptom was dyspnea
I
Intervention
Bedside echocardiographic measurement of mitral valve movements (parasternal long axis-anterior leaflet septal separation, E-point septal separation, apical 4-chamber view-anterior leaflet septal separation, and mitral valve leaflet separation)
C
Comparator
Comprehensive echocardiography performed by an experienced cardiologist
O
Outcome
Correlation between mitral valve measurements and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)surrogate

Bedside echocardiographic measurements of mitral valve movements are highly correlated with LVEF and can accurately exclude reduced LVEF in dyspneic patients.
