摘要: Background: Recent technical developments with high-resolution real-time 3 dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE) facilitate the acquisition of high quality images and analysis segmental volume—time curves (VTCs). Aims: To assess left ventricular (LV) asynchrony using VTCs 16 segments by RT3DE, to evaluate accuracy compared tissue Doppler imaging (TDI). Methods: Twenty-three heart failure (HF) patients (LVEF: 25±6%, age: 60±13 years) normal controls underwent TDI RT3DE. The standard deviation (SD3) end systolic time reaching minimal volume for on was obtained (SD2) electromechanical coupling 8 measured TDI. Results: SD3 markedly higher in HF than (7.7±2.5 vs 1.5±1.0%, P<0.01) increased as LVEF decreased (r=−0.85, P<0.01). SD2 also significantly (27.0±8.6 12.6±5.0 ms, had a good negative correlation (r=−0.72, SD3 well correlated (r=0.66, P<0.01). Conclusions: We suggest that RT3DE may be useful alternative evaluation LV asynchrony.
