Cardiac CT† | Echocardiography | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Dataset A (n = 46) | Dataset B (n = 44) | Dataset C (n = 46) | Dataset D (n = 44) | ||
E | 67.98 ± 23.36 (r = 0.67, p < 0.01) | 56.31 ± 23.43 (r = 0.64, p < 0.01) | 61.09 ± 20.59 (r = 0.70, p < 0.01) | 49.09 ± 16.64 (r = 0.70, p < 0.01) | 64.85 ± 16.58 |
E’ | 7.23 ± 3.22 (r = 0.70, p < 0.01) | 5.08 ± 2.10 (r = 0.52, p < 0.01) | 6.79 ± 2.90 (r = 0.61, p < 0.01) | 4.87 ± 2.12 (r = 0.54, p < 0.01) | 6.03 ± 2.12 |

Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (correlation coefficient [r] between CT and echocardiography). E and E′ stands for transmitral velocity (cm/s) and mitral septal velocity (cm/s), respectively. *Correlation between echocardiography and CT dataset A for E / E′ is stronger (p < 0.05) than those between echocardiography and dataset B, C, or D. †Images are reconstructed with slice thickness/increment of 0.9/0.9 mm at 5% RR-interval in dataset A, with 0.9/0.9 mm at 10% in dataset B, with 3/3 mm at 5% in dataset C, and finally 3/3 mm at 10% in dataset D.
