  2. Ejection fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ejection_fraction

    Modalities applied to measurement of ejection fraction is an emerging field of medical mathematics and subsequent computational applications. The first common measurement method is echocardiography, [7] [8] although cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), [8] [9] cardiac computed tomography, [8] [9] ventriculography and nuclear medicine (gated SPECT and radionuclide angiography) [8] [10 ...

  3. Left atrial volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_atrial_volume

    The left atrial volume is commonly measured by echocardiography or magnetic resonance tomography. It is calculated from biplane recordings with the equation: where A 4 c and A 2 c denote LA areas in 4- and 2-chamber views respectively, and L corresponds to the shortest long-axis length measured in either views.

  4. E/A ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E/A_ratio

    E/A ratio. The E/A ratio is a marker of the function of the left ventricle of the heart. It represents the ratio of peak velocity blood flow from left ventricular relaxation in early diastole (the E wave) to peak velocity flow in late diastole caused by atrial contraction (the A wave). [1] It is calculated using Doppler echocardiography, an ...

  5. Transthoracic echocardiogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transthoracic_echocardiogram

    A transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) is the most common type of echocardiogram, which is a still or moving image of the internal parts of the heart using ultrasound. In this case, the probe (or ultrasonic transducer) is placed on the chest or abdomen of the subject to get various views of the heart. It is used as a non-invasive assessment of ...

  6. Tissue Doppler echocardiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Tissue_Doppler_echocardiography

    Tissue Doppler echocardiography (TDE) is a medical ultrasound technology, specifically a form of echocardiography that measures the velocity of the heart muscle (myocardium) through the phases of one or more heartbeats by the Doppler effect (frequency shift) of the reflected ultrasound. The technique is the same as for flow Doppler ...

  7. Cardiac index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_index

    Cardiac index is a critical parameter in evaluating cardiac performance and the adequacy of tissue perfusion. In healthy adults, the normal range of cardiac index is generally between 2.6 to 4.2 L/min/m². Values below this range may indicate hypoperfusion and are often seen in conditions such as heart failure, hypovolemia, and cardiogenic shock.
