Assessment of right ventricular function from realtime three-dimensional echocardiography in patients with acute heart failure
In order to compare two analytical methods for quantifying right ventricular size, function and geometry, images of 53 patients (39 men and 14 women, mean age 56,3±8,08 years) with acute decompensate heart failure were quantitatively obtained from real-time three-dimensional echocardiography.
