Abstract Background: Real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT-3DE) could obtain ventricular volume and
ejection fraction rapidly and non-invasively without relying on ventricular morphology. This study aims to use
RT-3DE to evaluate the changes in biventricular volume and systolic function in children with ventricular septal
defect (VSD) and moderate to severe pulmonary hypertension (PH) before surgery. Methods: In this study
18 children with VSD and moderate to severe PH (VSD + PH Group) and 18 healthy children of the same
age (Control Group) were recruited. Biventricular volume and systolic function were evaluated by RT-3DE.
The measurements included: left and right ventricular volume indexed to… More >
