Why the study?
Does 3D echocardiography accurately assess left-ventricular mass and remodeling compared to other echocardiographic modalities and MRI in adolescents?
Does 3D echocardiography accurately assess left-ventricular mass and remodeling compared to other echocardiographic modalities and MRI in adolescents?
3D echocardiography provides a more accurate assessment of left-ventricular mass and remodeling in adolescents compared to 2D and M-mode, revealing that BMI is a stronger driver of LV remodeling than systolic blood pressure in obese youth.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
3D echo may better capture BMI-related LV remodeling in obese adolescents than 2D; leaves open clinical utility versus M-mode or MRI.
Pacileo et al. (2012) studied this question.
