Automated 3-Dimensional Single-Beat Real-Time Volume Colour Flow Doppler Echocardiography in Children: A Validation Study of Right and Left Heart Flows

Background Novel quantification of stroke volume according to mitral inflow and aortic outflow using automated real-time 3-dimensional volume colour flow Doppler echocardiography (3D-RT-VCFDE) is more accurate than 2-dimensional echocardiography and has excellent correlation with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging-based flows in adults. This technology is applied for the first time to the right heart and in children. Methods 3D-RT-VCFDE was...
