The parameters are referred to as mean ± SD. Abbreviations: LVEDD left ventricular (LV) internal diameter in diastole, LVESD LV internal diameter in systole, LVEF left ventricular ejection fraction, M
PurposeTo determine whether the semi-automated two-dimensional echocardiography (2DE) layer strain software, compared to cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), is reliable for left ventricular (LV) volume
Background Catheter ablation (CA) for atrial fibrillation (AF) is now an important therapeutic modality for patients with AF. However, data regarding changes in left atrial (LA) function after CA have
ωP-, mean rotational speed; MAP, mean arterial pressure; Pla-, mean left atrial pressure; PLEVD, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure; CO-, mean cardiac output; QP-, mean pump flow; PIQp, pump flow
Since the left ventricle (LV) has pressure (Plv) and volume (Vlv), we can define LV elastance from the ratio between Plv and Vlv, termed as “instantaneous elastance.” On the other hand, end-systolic e
