|January 1, 1976
Summary
This study reports average left ventricular volumes in ten healthy individuals using single-plane cineventriculography. Findings detail end-diastolic (EDV) and end-systolic volumes (ESV), systolic throw, and ejection fraction (EF).
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Physiology
- Medical Imaging Analysis
Context:
- Accurate measurement of left ventricular volume is crucial for assessing cardiac function.
- Single-plane cineventriculography is an established imaging technique for cardiac evaluation.
Purpose:
- To determine normal reference values for left ventricular volumes and ejection fraction.
- To report average end-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV), systolic throw, and ejection fraction (EF) in a cohort of healthy subjects.
Summary:
- Ten healthy individuals underwent single-plane cineventriculography in the 30-degree OAdx projection.
- Average values and standard deviations for EDV, ESV, systolic throw, and EF were calculated.
- The study provides normative data for these key left ventricular parameters.
Impact:
- Establishes baseline volumetric data for healthy individuals.
- Aids in the interpretation of cardiac function in clinical settings.
- Supports the use of single-plane cineventriculography for quantitative cardiac assessment.
