Comparison of Left Atrial Measurements Using 2- and 3-Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography

2019, Catheter Ablation of Cardiac ArrhythmiasThe Remarkable 50 Years of Imaging in HCM and How it Has Changed Diagnosis and Management: From M-Mode Echocardiography to CMR
2016, JACC: Cardiovascular ImagingCitation Excerpt :Dr. Feigenbaum formulated a worldwide initiative that included publications, workshops, national/international conferences, a comprehensive textbook spanning 45 years, the first commercially available sector scanner, and a cadre of trainees who carried forth a new message to a skeptical establishment. Early investigations from the Feigenbaum laboratory reported the capability of measuring left ventricular (LV) wall thickness and cavity dimensions, and recognition of the ventricular septum (12,14–16). These observations and those of other investigators (17,18) were instrumental in promoting the imaging revolution for cardiac diseases (prominently including HCM).
The Role of Left Atrial Imaging in the Management of Atrial Fibrillation
2015, Progress in Cardiovascular DiseasesCitation Excerpt :The most commonly available modality remains TTE, which has the advantages of imposing no radiation exposure and of providing a wide array of clinically useful data, but the disadvantages of being relatively time consuming and reliant on highly skilled operators. Measurement of LA size by TTE has long been standardized.39,40 Volumetric analyses are preferred to linear measurements of LA diameter and 3D TTE imaging, which provides direct identification of the LA endocardial border in the collected dataset, is preferred to 2D imaging, which relies on area measurements to derive LA volumes.
Recommendations for Quantification Methods During the Performance of a Pediatric Echocardiogram: A Report From the Pediatric Measurements Writing Group of the American Society of Echocardiography Pediatric and Congenital Heart Disease Council
2010, Journal of the American Society of EchocardiographyCitation Excerpt :Neither the IVC diameter nor the collapsibility index, however, appears to correlate with age or BSA in adult patients,39 and the utility of the collapsibility index in children has not been evaluated. LA size can be assessed by M-mode and 2D measurements of the distance from the posterior aortic wall to the posterior LA wall,41 though this anteroposterior distance correlates poorly with angiographically derived LA volumes.42 Recent recommendations involve the calculation of LA volumes from apical views at end-systole just before the MV opens using major-axis and minor-axis dimensions and planimetered areas in orthogonal views (Figure 1).
