Background: Multicenter clinical trials use echocardiographic core laboratories to ensure expertise and consistency in the assessment of imaging eligibility criteria, as well as safety and efficacy end points. The aim of this study was to report the real-world implementation of guidelines for best practices in echocardiographic core laboratories, including their feasibility and quality results, in a large, international multicenter trial.
Methods: Processes and procedures were developed to optimize the acquisition and analysis of echocardiograms for the Placement of Aortic Transcatheter Valves (PARTNER) I trial of percutaneous aortic valve replacement for aortic stenosis.
