Using volume-time curves with real-time three-dimensional echocardiography to analyze right ventricular function in patients with pneumoconiosis
“Using volume-time curves with real-time three-dimensional echocardiography to analyze right ventricular function in patients with pneumoconiosis”, vol. 13, pp. 9665-9674, 2014.
, We evaluated right ventricular function in patients with pneumoconiosis using real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE). A total of 80 consecutive patients were prospectively recruited, 44 of whom were diagnosed with pneumoconiosis, and the remaining 36 age- and gender-matched healthy volunteers served as the control group. All patients underwent both 2D and 3DE.
