Abstract
To overcome the limitations of conventional M-mode echocardiography, a new technique referred to as anatomic M-mode has been recently developed. This technique is based on postprocessing of digitally acquired two-dimensional (2D) cineloops, and allows the operator to position one or multiple independent M-mode cursors freely on the 2D images. Initial clinical data show that anatomic M-mode can increase the reproducibility and accuracy of standard M-mode measurements of the left ventricle. Also, this quantitative technique has the potential to improve assessment of left ventricular wall motion and thickening, and could be particularly useful in providing objective measures during stress echocardiography.
