Table 3.
Echocardiography parameters typically available on echo reports by center type.
| TnECHO centers (n = 12) | Non-TnECHO centers (n = 59) | P value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quantitative measures of LV function (ejection fraction) | 12 (100) | 49 (83) | NS |
| Left and/or right ventricular output | 12 (100) | 12 (20) | <0.001 |
| Quantitative measures of RV function (TAPSE, FAC) | 10 (83) | 25 (43) | 0.02 |
| Quantitative ductal diameter | 11 (92) | 35 (60) | 0.04 |
| Direction of ductal shunt | 12 (100) | 51 (88) | NS |
| Size of atrial shunt | 11 (92) | 25 (43) | 0.02 |
| Direction of atrial shunt | 11 (92) | 21 (36) | 0.01 |
RV right ventricle, LV left ventricle, TAPSE tricuspid annulus plane systolic excursion, FAC fractional area change, NS not significant.
