Left 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 کاملLeft 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 کاملAltered left ventricular contraction pattern during right ventricular pacing: assessment using real-time three-dimensional echocardiography.
BACKGROUND Chronic right ventricular apical (RVA) pacing has been associated with increased risk of heart failure and adverse outcome. The acute effects of RVA pacing on three-dimensional (3D) ventricular function and mechanical dyssynchrony are not well known. We performed a real-time 3D echocardiographic (RT3DE) study to assess global and regional left ventricular function during RVA pacing. ...
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 کاملQuantitative assessment of left ventricular perfusion defects using real-time three-dimensional myocardial contrast echocardiography.
Quantitative assessment of perfusion defects with myocardial contrast echocardiography can be a valuable tool in the evaluation of patients with coronary artery disease. However, the use of 2-dimensional echocardiography for this purpose is limited to a restricted number of imaging planes. Real-time 3-dimensional echocardiography (RT3D) is a novel technique that provides instantaneous volumetri...
