The limited usefulness of real-time 3-dimensional echocardiography in obtaining normal reference ranges for right ventricular volumes
BACKGROUND To obtain normal reference ranges and intraobserver variability for right ventricular (RV) volume indexes (VI) and ejection fraction (EF) from apical recordings with real-time 3-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE), and similarly for RV area indexes (AI) and area fraction (AF) with 2-dimensional echocardiography (2DE). METHODS 166 participants; 79 males and 87 females aged between ...
متن کاملReference ranges for and determinants of right ventricular area in healthy adults by two-dimensional echocardiography.
BACKGROUND The right ventricular (RV) area is important for diagnosis and follow-up in patients with various diseases, such as in pulmonary hypertension. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to define the reference ranges of the end-diastolic RV area in healthy adults and to assess the determining factors. METHODS In the first part of the study 860 healthy subjects (37.6% female; mean age 2...
متن کاملNon-circular shape of right ventricular outflow tract: a real-time 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography study.
BACKGROUND The shape of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) has been assumed to be circular. The aim of this study was to assess RVOT morphology using 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3D TEE). METHODS AND RESULTS This prospective study included 114 patients who underwent 3D TEE. Two-dimensional (2D) TEE measured maximum and minimum RVOT diameters (RVOTD max and min) during a...
متن کاملNew Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Reference Ranges for Right Ventricular Volumes and Systolic Function
Accurate quantitation of right ventricular (RV) volumes and systolic function provides important diagnostic and prognostic information in a wide range of conditions. In the case of heart failure, a preserved RV ejection fraction (RVEF) is associated with improved long-term survival. The most recent task force criteria for the diagnosis of arrhythmogenic RV cardiomyopathy require the presence of...
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. ...
