PVR can also be obtained by 3D-echocardiography volume data combined with simultaneously measured pressure data by a mini pressure-wire (PVR<jats:sub>3DE<\/jats:sub>). We sought to investigate the feasibility of both methods in patients with univentricular hearts and to compare them, including hemodynamic changes.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>We studied 19 patients (age 2\u201329 years). PVR<jats:sub>3DE<\/jats:sub> and PVR<jats:sub>Cond<\/jats:sub> were assessed under baseline conditions and stimulation with dobutamine.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Obtaining PVR<jats:sub>3DE<\/jats:sub> was successful in all patients. Obtaining PVR<jats:sub>Cond<\/jats:sub> was possible in 15 patients during baseline (79%) and in 12 patients under dobutamine (63%). Both methods showed that end-systolic elastance (Ees) and arterial elastance (Ea) increased under dobutamine and that Tau showed a statistically significant decrease. Intraclass correlation (95% confidence interval) showed moderate to good agreement between methods: Ees: 0.873 (0.711\u20130.945), Ea: 0.709 (0.336\u20130.873), Tau: 0.867 (0.697\u20130.942). Bland-Altman analyses showed an acceptable bias with wider limits of agreement: Ees: 1.63 mmHg\/ml (-3.83\u20137.08 mmHg\/ml), Ea: 0.53 mmHg\/ml (-5.23\u20136.28 mmHg\/ml), Tau: -0,76 ms (-10.73\u20139.21 ms).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Changes of PVR-specific parameters under dobutamine stimulation were reflected in the same way by both methods. However, the absolute values for these parameters could vary between methods and, therefore, methods are not interchangeable. Obtaining PVR<jats:sub>3DE<\/jats:sub> in a single ventricle was easier, faster and more successful than PVR<jats:sub>Cond<\/jats:sub>. PVR<jats:sub>3DE<\/jats:sub> provides a promising and needed alternative to the conductance technology for the assessment of cardiac function in univentricular hearts.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0246031","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,1]],"date-time":"2021-02-01T20:45:19Z","timestamp":1612212319000},"page":"e0246031","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Assessment
