Abstract:
In patients with chronic heart failure, echocardiographic automated boundary detection (ABD) can reliably assess right ventricular function. The measurements obtained by ABD were highly reproducible, strongly correlated with radionuclide right ventricular ejection fraction, and superior to those obtained by conventional manual echocardiographic methods.
