- Abstract
The article offers information on the new modalities for treatment and diagnosis of cardiac failure in children. It states that three dimensional echocardiography has developed into a practical bedside tool to quantify ejection fractions and left ventricular volume. The application of quantitative three-dimensional echocardiographic techniques has showed a strong connection between intra-left ventricular dyssynchrony and left ventricular dysfunction.
