What Is the Optimal Clinical Technique for Measurement of Left Ventricular Volume After Myocardial Infarction? A Comparative Study of 3-Dimensional Echocardiography, Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography, and Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging

We have shown that 3DE is accurate and reproducible for the measurement of LV volumes for risk assessment in chronic ischemic heart disease and dilated cardiomyopathy. Furthermore, 3DE is more accurate than TI-201 SPECT with less underestimation of LV volumes.
