Quantitative Echocardiography 97Figure 5.8 The left ventricular diameter can be obtained from a mid-esophageal five-chamber view. The normal values are those of a25-year-old male with a body surface area of 1.8 m 2 [(A), short-axis; Ao, aorta; (B), long-axis; LA, left atrium; LV, left ventricle; RA,right atrium; RV, right ventricle] (6).Figure 5.9 The left ventricular short-axes diameters can be obtained from a transgastric mid-papillary view. Measurements are madefrom inner edge to inner edge. The normal values are those of a 25-year-old male with a body surface area of 1.8 m 2 [(A), short-axis; AP,anteroposterior; (B), long-axis; LV, left ventricle; ML, medio-lateral; RV, right ventricle] (6).Figure 5.10 Mid-esophageal four-chamber view of the right ventricle (RV). The normal values are those of a 63-year-old male with abody surface area of 1.8 m 2 [(A), short-axis; (B), long-axis; LA, left atrium; LV, left ventricle; RA, right atrium] (6).
