Abstract
Quantitative assessment of LV systolic function includes estimates of stroke volume (SV) and ejection fraction (EF) by M-mode (FS), 2D (FAC and Simpson’s), and Doppler echocardiography. Accurate volume calculations using TEE are difficult as assumptions are made about symmetric LV shape and uniform global function. Load conditions may affect indices of systolic function. Technical limitations include inadequate endocardial border definition and avoidance of LV foreshortening.
