Presurgical planning of mitral valve (MV) repair in patients with Barlow disease (BD) and fibroelastic deficiency (FED) is challenging because the inability to assess accurately complexity MV prolapse. We hypothesized that etiology degenerative (DMVD) could be objectively ascertained using parameters geometry obtained by morphological analysis real-time 3D echocardiographic (RT3DE) images.Seventy-seven underwent transesophageal RT3DE study: 57 DMVD studied intraoperatively (28 BD, 29 FED...
Although recommended by current guidelines, adoption of three-dimensional echocardiographic (3DE) chamber quantification in clinical practice has lagged because time-consuming analysis. We recently validated an automated algorithm that measures left atrial (LA) and ventricular (LV) volumes ejection fraction (EF). This study aimed to determine the accuracy reproducibility these measurements a multicentre setting. 180 patients underwent 3DE imaging (Philips) at six sites. Images were analysed...
<h3>Objectives</h3> To determine the accuracy of calcium-containing rings measurements imaged by three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE), multi-slice CT (MSCT) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) under ideal conditions against true ring dimensions. compare aortic annulus (AoA) in ex vivo human hearts using 3DE, MSCT CMR. AoA an model. <h3>Design</h3> CMR imaging were performed on 30 28 explanted hearts. Additionally, 15 subjects with clinical indication for underwent 3DE. Two experts each...
•Greater degrees of reduced LVEF are related to progressively higher risks.•Lower causes a risk events even for noncardiac hospital admission.•Vigilance is required quality treatment in any clinical setting. BackgroundAlthough echocardiography widely used measure left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), its prognostic value has not been demonstrated broad range patients including those acutely hospitalized cardiac or causes. We determined whether greater systolic dysfunction were...
Background: Echocardiographic speckle tracking strain has gained clinical importance. However, the comparability of measurements between different software systems is not well defined. Methods: In 47 healthy subjects left ventricular (LV) two-dimensional (2D) peak and time to (TTP) generated by EchoPAC (2DS) velocity vector imaging (VVI) were compared. For each type (longitudinal [LS], circumferential [CS], radial [RS]) we compared global, anatomical level segmental values. Results: When...
