Abstract
Background During the past few years commercial solutions became available to deal with ventricular trabecules. It has been already shown, that the new algorithms have a significant impact on all parameters measured during routine evaluation (EF: ejection fraction, ESVi: end systolic volume index, EDVi: end diastolic volume index, SVi: stroke volume index, Mi: mass index). The effect of trabecules become especially important in case of pressure overloaded right ventricle. It has been also published, that cardiac ultrasound (ECHO) tend to underestimate volumes and overestimate ejection fraction when compared to cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) as a gold standard.
