4D LV-Analysis©
Vendor independent software solution to analyze and visualize LV function and LV dyssynchrony in cardiac 3D ultrasound data
4D LV-Analysis© provides a full assessment of the LV including Volumes, EF and Dyssynchrony with no more efforts than the current routine methods and shows a high correlation with MRI results. The software features for 4D echo data advanced automatic contour finding algorithm for an easy, fast, accurate and highly reproducible functional analysis of the left ventricle, even for patients that are difficult to image.
Clinical Use
- Measurement results for LV EDV, ESV and EF are comparable to the gold standard cardiac MRI, even in abnormally shaped LV (congenital heart diseases)
- Detect, quantify and display LV dyssynchrony
- Predictive of Cardiac Dyssynchrony Therapy (CRT) success via Systolic Dyssynchrony Index (SDI)
- Assessment of wallmotion in echo images compared to 3D shell
Major benefits
- Quantify LV volume and function with high accuracy (compared to cardiac MRI)
- Examination of the composite effect of radial, circumferential and longitudinal myocardial contraction
- Guide to identify CRT responders and non-responders
- Guide to LV pacemaker lead placement
- Guide to pacemaker programming
Our dyssynchrony index derived from 3D echocardiography may be a useful tool not only to quantify dyssynchrony but also to identify patients who may not benefit from CRT.
