Article Synopsis
- The study compares two imaging techniques, 2D speckle imaging (2DSI) and 3D echography, for assessing right ventricular (RV) function against MRI results.
- The research involved 32 patients and highlighted that 2DSI provided better correlation with RV ejection fraction (RVEF) than traditional echocardiographic measures, particularly showing that apical strain significantly indicates reduced RV function.
- Meanwhile, the 3D echocardiographic estimates were found to underestimate RV volumes and had a weaker correlation with MRI results, suggesting limitations in its accuracy for RVEF assessment.
