6-22 Cardiology
Tools Descriptions Formulae
EF(Cube) Ejection Fraction
FS(Cube) Fractional Shortening
MVCF(Cube)
Mean Velocity of Circumferential Fiber
Shortening
SI(Cube) SV Index
CI(Cube) CO Index
Operating Procedures (take the method using LVIDd, LVIDs, HR as an example)
1. Select [Cube] in the measurement menu.
2. Measure LVIDd in 2D or M mode.
The LVIDd and EDV are obtained.
3. Measure LVIDs in 2D or M mode.
LVIDs and ESV are obtained.
The system calculates SV, EF and FS;
4. Measure HR (heart rate) in M mode, or using touch screen knob to select HR source: ECG or
input.
If height and weight have been input already, SI, CO, CI, EDV Index and ESV Index are
calculated.
MVCF is calculated if LVET is measured.
In [Preset]-[System Preset]-[Application] screen, you can set the method for Cube/Teichholz/HR
study.
