Quantification of LV function<br />

Us<strong>in</strong>g 4 chamber [horizontal long axis] and/or 2 chamber<br />

[vertical long axis] views of the LV, an area length ejection<br />

fraction measurement was performed on FCMR images<br />

and qualitative function was visually assessed and graded<br />

as decreased, normal or <strong>in</strong>creased<br />

Echo – LV and RV ejection fraction was visually assessed<br />

and graded as decreased, normal or <strong>in</strong>creased<br />
