Site-dependency of the E/e′ ratio in predicting invasive left ventricular filling pressure in patients with suspected or ascertained coronary artery disease
.
E/e′L ≥16.2 predicted PCWP ≥18 mmHg with the highest diagnostic accuracy (AUC = 0.826), sensitivity (81.3%), and specificity (80%).
.
Conclusions In patients with CAD, E/e′L is the most accurate parameter in predicting abnormally increased LVFP.

Comparison of three-dimensional echocardiographic software packages for assessment of left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony and prediction of response to cardiac resynchronization therapy
.
Measurements of SDI were significantly higher using TomTec compared with QLAB in both patients (10.9 ± 3.8 vs. 9.7 ± 3.9, P < 0.001) and healthy volunteers (4.1 ± 0.8 vs. 2.4 ± 1, P < 0.001), with large biases and wide limits of agreement. . Conclusion Different 3DE software packages for the assessment of mechanical dyssynchrony should not be used interchangeably until better software standardization is achieved. .

Estudo usou diferentes softwares de 3D e encontrou resultados não comparáveis. Como no Strain, as fábricas precisam chagar a um acordo para que o produto tenha uso médico geral.
