Table 1 List of echo Doppler analyses tested for reproducibility by the Echo Study Group of the Italian Society of Cardiology

From: Methodological approach for the assessment of ultrasound reproducibility of cardiac structure and function: a proposal of the study group of Echocardiography of the Italian Society of Cardiology (Ultra Cardia SIC) Part I

Type of cardiac ultrasound analysis

1

Quantitative analysis of the left ventricle

2

Quantitative analysis of left atrium, aortic root and ascending aorta

3

Quantitative analysis of the right ventricle

4

Doppler derived left ventricular diastolic function (including pulsed Tissue Doppler of the mitral annulus)

5

Speckle Tracking Echocardiography and AFI-derived LV longitudinal strain

6

Real time 3D echocardiography of the left ventricle

7

Real-time 3D echocardiography of the right ventricle

  1. AFI = Automated function imaging, LV = Left ventricular
