Left ventricular ejection fraction and volumes as measured by 3d echocardiography and ultrafast computed tomography

Real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT-3D-Echo) and ultrafast computed tomography (CT) are two novel methods for the analysis of LV ejection fraction and volumes. To compare LVEF and volume measurements as obtained using RT-3D-Echo and ultrafast CT. Thirty nine consecutive patients (27 men...

Description
Summary:Real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT-3D-Echo) and ultrafast computed tomography (CT) are two novel methods for the analysis of LV ejection fraction and volumes. To compare LVEF and volume measurements as obtained using RT-3D-Echo and ultrafast CT. Thirty nine consecutive patients (27 men, mean age of 57+/-12 years) were studied using RT-3D-Echo and 64-slice ultrafast CT. LVEF and LV volumes were analyzed. coefficient of correlation (r: Pearson), Bland-Altman analysis, linear regression analysis, 95% CI, p
