M-mode echocardiography overestimates left ventricular mass in patients with normal left ventricular shape: a comparative study using three-dimensional echocardiography.
AIMS We sought to evaluate whether left ventricular (LV) mass (M) determined by M-mode echocardiography is overestimated compared with LVM calculated by three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography (E) in patients with normal LV shape. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 112 studies in 56 patients (60+/-13 years) with hypertension (n=25) or aortic stenosis (n=31) and 30 control subjects (57+/-14 years)...
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 کاملReproducibility of left ventricular mass measurements by two-dimensional and M-mode echocardiography.
Both two-dimensional and M-mode echocardiography provide accurate estimates of left ventricular mass. However, their reproducibility in serial studies has not been compared, although this issue is critical to evaluation of regression of hypertrophy. To determine which technique provides more reproducible estimates of left ventricular mass, three serial studies were performed prospectively in ea...
متن کاملCanine left ventricular mass estimation by two-dimensional echocardiography.
This study was designed to develop a two-dimensional echocardiographic method of measuring the mass of the left ventricle. The general formula for an ellipse was used to derive an algorithm that described the shell volume of concentric truncated ellipsoids. In 10 canine left ventricular two-dimensional echocardiograms, this algorithm accurately predicted postmortem left ventricular mass (r = .9...
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...
