title: Intracardiac versus transthoracic echocardiographic imaging of translation and rotation of left ventricular center of cavity area in dogs.
abstract: Motion of the left ventricular cavity center during the cardiac cycle was compared using transthoracic and intracardiac echocardiography. Rotation was comparable for the 2 methods, however, translation of the left ventricular cavity area center was greater with intracardiac echocardiography.
