Update Guidelines Published for Echo Cardiac Chamber Quantification in Adults
By MedImaging International staff writers Posted on 19 Jan 2015 |
Updates to the international standard for quantification of the size and function of the cardiac chamber are a result of the fast pace of technological advance in echocardiography and associated changes in the way it is practiced.
A team assembled by the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE; Morrisville, NC, USA) and the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI; Sophia Antipolis, France) published the new recommendations in the January 2015 issue of the American Society of Echocardiography.
The original standard was published by the ASE and EACVI in 2005. The writing group for the update was co-chaired by Dr. Lang, director of Noninvasive Cardiac Imaging Laboratories at the University of Chicago Medicine (Chicago, IL, USA). In order to improve the reliability of the Echo Cardiac Chamber Quantification values, the new recommendations were derived from a much larger group of normal subjects, and from several databases.
Dr. Lang, stated, “There was a need to update these guidelines to take into account new developments such as real-time 3-D echo and myocardial deformation imaging, as well as to update normal values and recommendations for measurements.”
