ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare the diagnosis value of color echocardiography and high resolution CT for early left ventricular dysfunction.Methods:72 cases of left ventricular dysfunction patients in our hospital were chosen, and all of patients were detected with color echocardiography and high resolution CT inspection. Each patient was followed-up for 18 months and then to compare the diagnosis values of the two kind methods.Results: After 18 months follow-up review, the diagnostic accuracy of color echocardiography and high resolution CT were 95.8% (69/72) and 97.2% (70/72), respectively. Both of two methods were higher, and the difference was not statistically significant (x2=0.207,P=0.649). All sorts of cardiac function detection result, such as LVSV, LVEF, LVEDV and LVESV, were similar between color echocardiography and high-resolution CT, and the difference was not statistically significant (t=-0.775,t=1.387,t=-0.624,t=-1.209;P>0.05). Conclusion: Both of the diagnostic accuracy of color echocardiography and high-resolution CT for early left ventricular dysfunction were higher. All of them are worthy generalization and applying in clinical diagnosis for early heart failure.
