Assessment of Right Ventricular Volume in Pediatric Patients
Sponsor: Boston Children's Hospital
Summary
Most publication are basing RV volumes on images acquired from the apical window. However, some data have called the practice of basing these images on apical window into question. Moreover, despite our best efforts, we have been unable, in our laboratory to reliably visualize RV outflow from the apical view. Therefore, with an identified group of trained sonographers, we plan to conduct a head-to-head comparison of RV volumes acquired from these two windows (apical and subcostal), with comparison to gold-standard CMR.
Official title: Assessment of Right Ventricular Volume in Pediatric Patients - Is Apical or Subcostal Window More Accurate?

Conditions
Interventions
three-dimensional echocardiography
A focused echocardiographic exam will be performed. In details will be acquired: * high frame rate imaging clips acquired in a static position with attention to endocardial border optimization, minimum of 3 beats recorded with 'Acquire 2', of: a. Left ventricle 2c/3c/4c; b. left ventricle SAB, SAX-M, SAX-A; c. right ventricular focused apical view. * Full volumes: a. 3d left ventricular apical acquisition; b. right ventricular apical acquisition; c. subcostal right ventricular acquisition.
