Three-dimensional echocardiographic analysis of electromechanical synchrony: comparison with three-dimensional and two-dimensional ejection fraction for evaluation of left ventricular systolic performance

Objective: To compare the three-dimensional echocardiographic analysisof left ventricular (LV) synchrony to LV ejection fraction (LVEF) as measuredby two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography(ECHO). Methods: This is a prospective study of 71 patients (41 males,aged 49 ± 11 yea...
