“…Validation of 3DSTE atrial volumetry with cardiac magnetic resonance has been previously reported . Two‐dimensional and 3DSTE methods showed a satisfactory correlation in the assessment of RA volumes, in spite of 3D better reproducibility indicated by a lower inter‐observer difference and variability.…”

“…A technical limitation is that the low temporal resolution of 3DSTE affects the ability to track anatomic details frame by frame and requires multibeat (six beats) acquisitions. Further research leading to improvements in both hardware and software is required to assess the feasibility of 3DSTE and the relative importance of current limitations, such as the low frame rates and suboptimal image quality.…”

Validation of 3D echocardiographic volume detection of left atrium by human cadaveric casts

BackgroundLeft atrial volume is a prognostic factor in cardiac pathologies. We aimed to validate left atrial volume detection with 3D and 2D echocardiography (3DE and 2DE) by human cadaveric casts. 3DE facilitates measurement of atrial volume without geometrical assumptions or dependence on imaging angle in contrast to 2DE methods.MethodsFor method validation, six water-filled balloons were submerged in a 20-l water tank and their volumes were measured with 3DE. Seven human cadaveric left atrial casts were prepared of silicone and were transformed into ultrasound-permeable casts. Casts were imaged in the same setting, so that 3DE and 2DE of casts represented transthoracic apical view. Left ventricle analysis softwares GE 4D Auto LVQ and TomTec 4D LV-Function were used for 3DE volumetry.ResultsBalloon volumes ranged 37 to 255 ml (mean 126 ml). 3DE resulted in an excellent volumetric agreement with balloon volumes, absolute bias was − 3.7 ml (95% CI -5.9 to − 1.4). Atrial cast volumes were 38 to 94 ml (mean 56.6 ml). 3DE and 2DE volumes were excellently correlated with cast volumes (r = 0.96 to 0.99). Biases were for GE 4D LVQ -0.7 ml (95% CI -6.1 to 4.6), TomTec 4D LV-Function 3.3 ml (− 1.9 to 8.5) and 2DE 2.9 ml (− 4.0 to 9.9). 3DE resulted in lower limits of agreement and showed no volume-related bias in contrast to area-length method.ConclusionsWe conclude that measurement of human cadaveric left atrial cast volumes by 3DE is in excellent agreement with true cast volumes.

“…9 Currently, LA volume and function can be measured in several ways; [10][11][12] although the most common method is 2D echocardiography (2DE), 3D echocardiography (3DE) has recently emerged as a method of choice because of its availability, shorter time for measurement and reproducibility. [13][14][15][16] An even newer innovative measuring technique is 3D speckletracking (3DSTA), [17][18][19] but its prognostic ability is still unclear.…”

cardiac events than measurements with 2DE. Methods Study Design Participants We retrospectively analyzed the data from 704 randomly selected patients who had undergone both clinically indicated 2DE and 3DSTA examinations for heart disease between March 19, 2010 and December 14, 2015. Clinical records were also retrospectively reviewed in 2016 to determine the presence of MACE (cardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction [MI], stroke, and admission for heart failure [HF]). Patients were excluded from analysis if they met the following criteria: (1) atrial fibrillation or a history of pulmonary vein isolation (n=108); (2) frequent premature ventricular (PVCs) or atrial contractions (PACs) (n=7); (3) moderate to severe mitral or aortic regurgitation (n=16); and (4) mitral stenosis and mitral valve replacement (n=13). Furthermore, 41 patients were excluded

Quantification of left atrial volumes using three-dimensional wall motion tracking echocardiographic technology: comparison with cardiac magnetic resonance

Abstract: This study validates LA volume measurements obtained using the new and fast 3D-WMT technology, compared with CMR. This method is fast, accurate, and reproducible, and it allows a better classification of left LA enlargement severity compared with 2D-echo.
