Assessment of Right Ventricular Volume in Pediatric Patients - Is Apical or Subcostal Window More Accurate?
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating three-dimensional echocardiography for Ventricular Function. Completed, enrolled 50 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Most publication are basing RV volumes on images acquired from the apical window. However, some data have called the practice of basing these images on apical window into question. Moreover, despite our best efforts, we have been unable, in our laboratory to reliably visualize RV outflow from the apical view. Therefore, with an identified group of trained sonographers, we plan to conduct a head-to-head comparison of RV volumes acquired from these two windows (apical and subcostal), with comparison to gold-standard CMR.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
A focused echocardiographic exam will be performed. In details will be acquired: * high frame rate imaging clips acquired in a static position with attention to endocardial border optimization, minimum of 3 beats recorded with 'Acquire 2', of: a. Left ventricle 2c/3c/4c; b. left ventricle SAB, SAX-M, SAX-A; c. right ventricular focused apical view. * Full volumes: a. 3d left ventricular apical acquisition; b. right ventricular apical acquisition; c. subcostal right ventricular acquisition.
