Comparison of accuracy of left ventricular echocardiographic measurements by fundamental imaging versus second harmonic imaging

This preliminary study in 46 patients demonstrates that fundamental imaging modality should be preferred to harmonic imaging ot avoid left ventricular (LV) thickness overestimation when recording M-mode LV tracing [Publication ABSTRACT].
