Echocardiographic measurement of right ventricular volume.
Open accessAbstract
The volume of the right ventricle can be determined angiographically from its projections in two mutually perpendicular planes. Echocardiographic techniques for measuring right ventricular volume, however, have been more difficult and less successful. In this study, a method was developed for calculating right ventricular volume from two intersecting cross-sectional echocardiographic views: the apical four-chamber and subcostal right ventricular outflow tract views. First, the areas and lengths of casts of 12 human right ventricles obtained at autopsy were directly measured in the chosen views. Actual cast volumes correlated best with a formula giving volume as 2/3 times the area in one view times the long axis in the other view. The degree of correlation was similarly high for calculations involving the area derived from either view and the length of the roughly orthogonal section. This relationship for right ventricular volume was then confirmed with two-dimensional echocardiographic images of hollow latex molds made from the casts (r = .95, p less than .0001). The significance of these findings is discussed in relation to angiographic results and models of the right ventricle.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
