Time analysis
Most of the diastolic parameters could be acquired and analysed within 30-60 seconds. Few parameters exceeded this, as shown in table 2. The total time needed to classify according to was almost equal in the different algorithms with 8 seconds difference (NS) as shown in figure 1 and table 2. Estimation of LA volume was the most time-consuming parameter (141 +/- 24 s) and decreased (126 +/- 36 s) when accessed by 3D, p = 0,02.
