Ultrasonic measurements included LV end-diastolic diameter (LVDd), LV end-systolic diameter (LVDs), and LV posterior wall thickness (WTu). These dimensions and their derived relationships were compared with hemodynamic assessments of LV performance including angiocardiographic LV end-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV), major and minor axes, wall thickness (WTa), and mass (LVM) as well as their derived values. Significant correlations were found between LVDd and EDV (r= 0.75);... This content is PDF only. To continue reading please click on the PDF icon.
