Core Tip

Core Tip: This was a prospective international trial with 150 patients seeking to evaluate the accuracy and reproducibility of the fully automated quantification software, HeartModel (HM).The results showed that HM can be used to quantify the left ventricular (LV) volume and LV ejection fraction in patients with common heart diseases and may be recommended for clinical practice.
