Supports 3D echocardiography for LV assessment in animal models; leaves open clinical translation.
Does 3D echocardiography improve accuracy and reduce variability in measuring LV volume and mass compared to 2D echocardiography in an in vitro porcine model?
3D echocardiography provides significantly greater accuracy and lower variability than 2D echocardiography for measuring left ventricular volume and mass in an in vitro porcine model.
