Abstract

We performed a prospective anatomic validation study to determine the accuracy of left ventricular (LV) mass estimates from clinical two-dimensional echocardiographic (2-D echo) studies. In 21 subjects, antemortem 2-D echo LV mass determinations were compared with anatomic LV weight by postmortem ch...
