Left ventricular ejection fraction by real-time three-dimensional echocardiography
Despite a staggering technical progress in echocardiography, in daily clinical practice assessment of left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) is still often done in a rather inaccurate two-dimensional (2D) manner. Real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE) provides a more representative realistic view of LV volumes, thereby being the Necker cube for the naive realism of 2D method...
متن کاملLeft ventricular assessment using real time three dimensional echocardiography.
T he ability to accurately assess left ventricular function non-invasively is essential for patient management since it has been known for years that left ventricular ejection fraction serves as an important predictor of long term survival. Although two dimensional (2D) echocardiography is routinely used in clinical practice to obtain information on left ventricular dimension, wall thickness, a...
متن کاملAssessment of left ventricular function in chronic alcoholics by real-time three-dimensional echocardiography
Chronic alcohol consumption may lead to progressive cardiac dysfunction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of using real-time 3-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) on assessing left ventricular (LV) function in chronic alcoholics.We classified 92 male alcoholics into mild, moderate, and severe groups; 30 age-matched controls were also recruited. LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV...
متن کاملEarly change in left atrial function in patients treated with anthracyclines assessed by real-time three-dimensional echocardiography
Real-time three-dimensional echocardiography(RT-3DE) has allowed a better assessment of LA volumes and function. We sought to assess the early change in left atrial size and function in patients treated with anthracyclines using RT-3DE. 61 patients aged 44.9 ± 11.9 years with large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma treated with doxorubicin were studied. Blood collection and echocardiography were perf...
متن کاملLeft atrial volume and function in patients with Behcet's disease assessed by real-time three-dimensional echocardiography.
AIMS Behçet's disease (BD), a multisystemic inflammatory disorder, has been associated with a number of cardiovascular dysfunctions, including endomyocardial fibrosis of the right heart, atrial fibrillation, ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. The incidence and nature of cardiac involvement in BD are not yet clearly documented. Our aim was to evaluate left atrial (LA) volume and f...
