Evaluation of Left Ventricular Volumes and Function by Real Time Three-Dimensional Echocardiography in Children with Functional Single Left Ventricle: A Comparison between QLAB and TomTec

摘要

Background Real time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE) provides a reliable analysis of left ventricular (LV) volume. Despite a wide spectrum of tracking algorithms presently available, which software is most suitable for evaluating functional single left ventricle (FLSV) is unknown. Herein, we compared two of the most commonly used 3DE algorithms for quantification of LV volumes in the pediatric population with FLSV.
