Why the study?
Does adding Acoustic Quantification to 2D transoesophageal echocardiography alter the off-line assessment of regional left ventricular wall motion compared to 2D imaging alone in patients undergoing CABG?
Does adding Acoustic Quantification to 2D transoesophageal echocardiography alter the off-line assessment of regional left ventricular wall motion compared to 2D imaging alone in patients undergoing CABG?
Adding Acoustic Quantification to 2D transoesophageal echocardiography yields high overall intra- and inter-reader agreement for regional wall motion assessment, though significant variability exists depending on the echocardiographic view.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support Acoustic Quantification integration for regional wall motion assessment in CABG; leaves open long-axis intra-reader variability for prospective validation.
Hultman et al. (1994) studied this question.
