Abstract
The present research was aimed to compare the 2D and 3D echocardiography in the assessment of right ventricular functions in nondiabetic, normotensive, hemodialysis patients. The study was conducted in Cardiology department, Faculty of Medicine, Tanta University during the period from October 2016 to July 2017 on 20 patients. In the present study all subjects were subjected to complete history tacking, full clinical examination, laboratory investigations and assessment of the right ventricular functions using 2D and 3D echocardiography. The 3D echocardiography showed statistically significant differences compared to the 2D echocardiography in the assessment of the right ventricular functions. Fractional area change showed a mean of 33.25±9.21 compared to 38.05±7.88 of the ejection fraction gained from the 3D echocardiography. The sensitivity and specificity of the 3D echocardiography were 100% and 80% compared to 73.3 % and 60% for the 2D echocardiography. Moreover the degree of accuracy of the 3D echocardiography was 95% compared to 70% for the 2D echocardiography.
