Left ventricular and left atrial function

2015
Global left ventricular (LV) function is an important prognostic parameter and is useful for therapeutic decision-making. Since its introduction, two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography has played an important role in the quantitation of LV function.

Understanding Left Ventricular Function

1988
The characteristics of cardiac muscle contraction and relaxation have been extensively investigated using isolated heart muscle preparations. In such preparations, the effects of changes in preload (Starling’s law of the heart) and in contractility have been clearly defined, and many indices of contractility described.

Left Ventricular Pump Function

1997
The heart is a cleverly designed organ that propells blood around the body. Satisfactory performance depends on competent cardiac valves and powerful contraction of cardiac muscle. The heart’s performance is often compared to that of a hydraulic pump where efficiency is computed as the ratio of work performed to oxygen consumed.

Left ventricular systolic function

2018
Abstract Chapter 6 is subdivided into three sections: global LV systolic function, regional LV systolic function, and cardiomyopathies. In Section 1, commonly used indices of global systolic function, such as fractional area change and ejection fraction, are reviewed, along with their limitations related to oesophageal imaging.
