Superiority of 3d VS 2d echocardiography for measurement of left ventricular mass an in vivo canine anatomic validation American Journal of Hypertension Volume 8 Issue 4 Pt 2 April 1995 Page 86A https//doiorg/101016/089570619597684JImproved left ventricular LV mass determination by 3D echocardiography 3D ECHO could enable its use for serial measurements in individual patients if sufficiently accurate However 3D ECHO has not been compared to conventional 2D ECHO in a model which provides direct measurement of LV mass as a standard The purpose of this study is to validate the 3D ECHO method of LV mass determination against an anatomic standard in an in vivo canine model and compare it to 2D ECHO methods using the same standard 20 open chest dogs undergong coronary artery ligation had LV mass determination by 3D echo and previously validated 2D echo techniques 3D echo was performed using a “line of intersection” display to position 7–9 short axis crosssections of the LV from
