Left Ventricular Function & Geometry 1: LV Function

The purpose of this Left Ventricular Function and Geometry series is to assist the reader in measuring both volumetric- and  pressure-based metrics of left ventricular performance, as well as quantifying relevant structural characteristics of the LV. Starting with the CASS study, this course looks at volumetric assessments of LV function, fractional area change, assessing cardiac output, and functional estimates of LV function.

You will learn:

  • Volumetric estimates of LV function
  • Functional estimates of LV function
