Abstract |
Background |
Accurate quantification of right ventricular (RV) volumes and function is crucial for the management of congenital heart diseases.
Aims |
We aimed to assess the feasibility and accuracy of bedside analysis using new RV quantification software from three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography in children with or without congenital heart disease, and to compare measurements with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
Methods |
We included paediatric patients with congenital heart disease (106 patients) responsible for RV volume overload and a control group (30 patients). All patients underwent three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography using a Vivid E95 ultrasound system. RV end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes and RV ejection fraction were obtained using RV quantification software. Measurements were compared between RV quantification and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in 27 patients.
Results |
Bedside RV quantification analysis was feasible in 133 patients (97.8%). Manual contour adjustment was necessary in 126 patients (93%). The mean time of analysis was 62±42s. RV end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes were larger in the congenital heart disease group than the control group: median 85.0 (interquartile range 29.5) mL/m2 vs 55.0 (interquartile range 20.5) mL/m2 for RV end-diastolic volume and 42.5 (interquartile range 15.3) mL/m2 vs 29.0 (interquartile range 11.8) mL/m2 for RV end-systolic volume, respectively. Good agreement for RV end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes and RV ejection fraction was found between RV quantification and magnetic resonance imaging measurements. RV quantification software underestimated RV end-diastolic volume/body surface area by 3mL/m2 and RV ejection fraction by 2.1%, and overestimated RV end-systolic volume/body surface area by 0.2mL/m2.
Conclusions |
We found good feasibility and accuracy of bedside RV quantification analysis from three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography in children with or without congenital heart disease. RV quantification could be a reliable and non-invasive method for RV assessment in daily practice, facilitating appropriate management and follow-up care.
