Three-dimensional echocardiography has excellent correlation with radionuclide angiography for calculation of left ventricular ejection fraction in patients and has an observer variability similar to that of radionuclide angiography. We recommend the use of a 15-mm-thick slice for accurate and rapid measurement of left ventricular volume and ejection fraction.
Real time 3DTEE improved the anatomical and functional assessment of PV with better understanding of the underlying causes of PV dysfunction; hence, it could improve the management planning for such patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
