TABLE 5.

Myocardial cut-off sign compared to sac morphology performance for left ventricular pseudoaneurysm. Head-to-head comparison of sensitivities and specificities involving the myocardial cut-off subjective assessment and objective measurements compared to ratios involving the sex width or depth compared to the neck width.

Sensitivity Specificity
Subjective myocardial cut-off Reader 1 94% 94%
Subjective myocardial cut-off Reader 2 100% 78%
Objective: Measurement at 1 cm (bilateral measurements) 91% 97%
Objective: Measurement at 2 cm (bilateral measurements) 100% 51%
Sac width to neck width ratio >1.1:1 100% 80%
Sac depth to neck width ratio > 1:1 80% 80%
