Does real-time three-dimensional echocardiography improve the assessment of left ventricular function compared to two-dimensional echocardiography?

Intervention

Real-time three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography

Comparator

Two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography

Outcome

Left ventricular function and volume assessmentsurrogate

Real-time 3D echocardiography offers a method to assess left ventricular volumes and function without the geometrical assumptions that limit 2D echocardiography.
