title: Volumetric and functional assessment of a left ventricular aneurysm from a single acquisition by three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (from the MAGYAR-Path Study).
abstract: Three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (3DSTE) is accepted as a reliable and feasible method in the quantification of left ventricular (LV) volumes, strains and rotational characteristics. This case aimed to demonstrate the diagnostic importance of 3DSTE in volumetric and functional assessment of an LV aneurysm.
