    A novel echocardiographic technique accurately maps the three-dimensional left ventricular endocardial surface. This method, validated in canine models, shows promise for quantifying abnormal heart wall motion.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular imaging
    • Echocardiography
    • Biomedical engineering

    Background:

    • Accurate quantification of the left ventricular endocardial surface is crucial for diagnosing cardiac conditions.
    • Existing methods for mapping cardiac structures can be invasive or lack precision.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a novel technique for quantitatively mapping the 3D left ventricular endocardial surface using standard echocardiographic images.
    • To assess the accuracy and reliability of this mapping technique in various anatomical models.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized standard cross-sectional echocardiographic images to derive measurements for 3D endocardial surface mapping.
    • Validated the technique by comparing calculated endocardial areas with those obtained from latex casts in 15 excised canine ventricles.

  • Further tested the algorithm using idealized hemiellipsoid models to evaluate accuracy across different shapes and data inputs.

    • Main Results:

    • Demonstrated a strong correlation (r = 0.87, p < 0.001) between echocardiographic mapping and latex cast measurements in canine ventricles.
    • The technique accurately mapped idealized surfaces, particularly those resembling human ventricles.
    • Accuracy was relatively insensitive to deviations in echocardiographic plane positioning and reliable with data from just three planes.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed echocardiographic mapping technique provides accurate and reliable quantitative assessment of the 3D left ventricular endocardial surface.
    • The resulting planar plots may serve as valuable templates for localizing and quantifying abnormal cardiac wall motion.
