#echofirst still a fan of Teichholz quantification? Ok... Let's move to the next left ventricular blood-pool volume: now your patient suffered an apical myocardial infarction...

And last but not least: overlaying the models with the true volume:

Would you still use Teichholz after seeing this? It is quite accurate, but only if you meet two criterias: no measuring errors and only in patients with a healthy standardized heart. In daily clinical care a rarely seen situation. So use #3DEcho or at least Simpson biplane :-)

#echofirst How would you measure this object? Looks familiar? Well it's a CT scan derived left ventricular blood-pool model...

And decide while looking at the merged models 🤔😃:

Last suggestion: 3D volume rendering:

Second suggestion: Simpson biplane: elliptical cylinders stacked to a tower

First suggestion: Teichholz. His formula {LV=[7/(2.4+LVID)]*LVID³} produces an ellipsoid derived from ventriculogramms with an empirical cortection factor.

The history of echocardiography began during Carl Hellmuth Hertz’s honeymoon in Erlangen and then embarked on an exciting journey in which we participate today.

I've just discovered that Zotero released a mobile app. Well that will boost science and help me a LOT. 🙏 to the developer of #zotero for creating an open source, free, multi platform citing software.

I only can re-recommend it, a must read and must have in your #echofirst lab: DOI: 10.3390/jcdd13020070 Definitely saved my day :-)
