ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC METHODS FOR ASSESSING LEFT VENTRICULAR SYSTOLIC FUNCTION
Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the recommended primary method of assessing cardiac function. The measurement of LVEF determines the strategy for treatment of patients, as well as influences their prognosis. 3D echocardiography has higher accuracy and reproducibility than 2D echocardiography; hence it is currently recommended for volume and ...

Echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular systolic function [PDF]
Left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF) is the most validated and commonly used echocardiographic measure of systolic function. LVEF has a unique position in cardiology having severed as selection criteria for therapeutic trials that constitute the evidence base of today's treatment recommendations.

Relation of atrial natriuretic peptides to left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in heart failure [PDF]
Background: Plasma concentrations of atrial natriuretic peptides are correlated with atrial pressures, as are left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular filling abnormalities. Aims: This study investigated the relation of atrial natriuretic

Left ventricular systolic function in aortic stenosis [PDF]
In aortic valve stenosis, concentric hypertrophy develops which is characterized by a reduced end-diastolic radius-to-wall thickness ratio (r/h) with an essentially normal cavity shape. As long as the product of (r/h) and LV systolic pressure remains constant, hypertrophy is appropriate.
