Midwall ejection fraction for assessing systolic performance of the hypertrophic left ventricle

Midwall ejection fraction for assessing systolic performance of the hypertrophic left ventricle

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>In patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), LV midwall fractional shortening (FS) is used as a measure of LV systolic performance that is more physiologically appropriate than conventional FS. For evaluation of LV volume and...
