1. Items of Measurement and Calculation
B-CARDIAC MEAS: RV, LV, and PA.
2. Items of input
Heart Rate, LVET, and Height & Weight
The default measurements are LVLs, LVALs, LVLd, and LVALd measurements, in the method
of single-plane ellipse (S-P Ellipse) measurement.
The formulas of B mode cardiac LV measurement include Single plane ellipse (S-P Ellipse),
Dual plane ellipse (B-P Ellipse), Bullet, and Modified Simpson (Mod. Simpson), shown as
follows:
