Abstract
Left ventricular endocardium is the most important cardiac structure to calculate left ventricular function parameters such as volumes, ejection fraction and wall motion. The accurate and reproducible detection of endocardium remains the most crucial and the most important step in the quantitative analysis of 2-D echocardiograms [1–8].
