| Popis: | Left ventricular (LV) mass is a useful independent predictor of cardiovascular events. We sought to develop a new correlate of LV mass using noncontrast-enhanced cardiac computed tomography (NCE-CCT).We assessed 22 different ventricular measurements made with NCE-CCT in 60 participants in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis. The primary outcome was the correlation between the NCE-CCT measurements and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-derived LV mass.Correlation coefficients (r) for the 22 NCE-CCT techniques in comparison to MRI-derived LV mass ranged from 0.12 to 0.80, with 14 of the 22 techniques having r0.7. The highest correlation was achieved using the modified Simpson Rule method to determine the biventricular volume (r = 0.80; P0.001). Interrater reliability was good, with intraclass correlation coefficients of 0.84 to 0.90 for the best (r0.75) NCE-CCT methods.Noncontrast-enhanced cardiac computed tomography measurements of both biventricular volume and LV volume correlated well with MRI-derived LV mass in a population free of clinical cardiovascular disease. |
