Key result
Real-time tri-plane imaging during DSE significantly reduced acquisition time compared to 2D imaging (55 vs 137 seconds, P<0.001) while maintaining identical diagnostic accuracy (89%).

Absolute Event Rate: 55% vs 137%
p-value: p=<0.001
Real-time tri-plane imaging during dobutamine stress echocardiography significantly reduces acquisition time while maintaining identical diagnostic accuracy to conventional 2D imaging for detecting CAD.
Elif Eroğlu (2006) conducted a cross-sectional in Suspected coronary artery disease (n=36). Real-time tri-plane (RT3P) imaging during dobutamine stress echocardiography vs. Conventional two-dimensional (2D) imaging was evaluated on Total effective acquisition time (seconds) (p=<0.001). Real-time tri-plane imaging during DSE significantly reduced acquisition time compared to 2D imaging (55 vs 137 seconds, P<0.001) while maintaining identical diagnostic accuracy (89%).
