Strengths
Can assess morphology and function Cheap No radiation Portable Readily available
![Page 3: Turandot Saul December 19, 2007. Strengths Can assess morphology and function Cheap No radiation Portable Readily available.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d925503460f94a79388/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Limitations
Finding an acoustic window- narrow inter-costal spaces- all regions of LV not visualized in all patients- obesity- intervening lung tissue in pt with COPD- musculoskeletal deformities e.g. kyposis,
pectus excavatum

Left Ventricular Function Fills at low enough pressures to not
cause pulmonary congestion Deliver enough blood to periphery at
high enough pressure to perfuse tissues
No one quantity measures these
assessments of performance - ejection fraction
![Page 5: Turandot Saul December 19, 2007. Strengths Can assess morphology and function Cheap No radiation Portable Readily available.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d925503460f94a79388/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Ejection Fraction
Depends on contractility, preload and afterload, heart rate, synchronicity of contractions
Global parameter, regional differences in contractility averaged

Ejection Fraction
• Qualitative - visual inspection
- severity: mild, moderate, severe
- focality- global: reported as a range
in intervals of 5-10%- regional: 17 segments

Anterior Wall - PSSA

Ejection Fraction
• Quantitative
- accuracy, reproducibility limited
- assumes shape of LV cavity
- best in symmetric ventricles
![Page 16: Turandot Saul December 19, 2007. Strengths Can assess morphology and function Cheap No radiation Portable Readily available.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d925503460f94a79388/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Simpson’s Rule – the biplane method of disks
Volume left ventricle
- manual tracings in systole and
diastole
- area divided into series of disks
- volume of each disk ( πr2 * h )
summed = ventricular volume
LV-ED LV-ES
A4C
A2C
![Page 17: Turandot Saul December 19, 2007. Strengths Can assess morphology and function Cheap No radiation Portable Readily available.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d925503460f94a79388/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Simpson’s Rule – the biplane method of disks
Once volumes determined, EF is calculated :
LV diastolic volume - LV systolic volume x 100%
LV diastolic volume Normal > 50%, 35 to 50% moderately
depressed, <35% severely depressed Edge detection software can identify borders
![Page 18: Turandot Saul December 19, 2007. Strengths Can assess morphology and function Cheap No radiation Portable Readily available.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d925503460f94a79388/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Limitations
Operator dependence - inter/intra observer variability is 10-30%
Limited utility- MR high EF but little forward flow- AS low EF but possibly reversible

Superiority of Visual Versus Computerized Echo Estimation of Radionuclide LVEF
- Amico, A. American Heart Journal, 1989 Blinded study, 44 patients
Gold Standard - equilibrium radionuclide angiography (ERNA)
Echocardiographic methods included:1. Cubed M-mode formula
2. Teichholz M-mode formula
3. Subjective estimation of LVEF from two-dimensional videotape
4. Area-length method in one four-chamber view
5. Average of area-length method in three four-chamber views
6. Average of area-length method in four-chamber and two-chamber views (one beat each)
7. Subjective estimation from stored videoloop of four-chamber and two-chamber view
Best correlation method 3 - subjective estimation by experienced cardiologist
More time-consuming and costly computer techniques yielded worse estimates

Determination of LV Function by EP Echocardiography of Hypotensive Patients
- Moore, C. Academic Emergency Medicine, 2002 Prospective, observational study, convenience sample
Four EPs, focused echo training 51 patients with symptomatic hypotension Blinded cardiologist reviewed studies Pearson's correlation coefficient R = 0.86. Echo quality rated as good 33%, moderate
43%, poor 22%.
![Page 21: Turandot Saul December 19, 2007. Strengths Can assess morphology and function Cheap No radiation Portable Readily available.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d925503460f94a79388/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Accuracy of Emergency Physician Assessment of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction
– Randazzo, M. Academic Emergency Medicine, 2003 Cross-sectional observational study, convenience sample
115 patients, chest pain (45.1%), congestive heart failure (38.1%), dyspnea (5.7%), and endocarditis (10.6%)
Three-hour training session LVEF poor (<30%), moderate (30%-55%), or normal
(>55%) Formal echo within four hours interpreted by
cardiologist. LVEF correlation 86.1% overall agreement Highest (91%) in normal LVEF category, 70.4% poor
LVEF, 47.8% moderate LVEF
![Page 22: Turandot Saul December 19, 2007. Strengths Can assess morphology and function Cheap No radiation Portable Readily available.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d925503460f94a79388/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Clinical utility Patients with active chest pain
- regional wall motion abnormality- high sensitivity for ischemia or
infarction; absence excludes it- moderately specific
Prognostic information short and long term
Other diagnosis: PE, dissection, tamponade
![Page 23: Turandot Saul December 19, 2007. Strengths Can assess morphology and function Cheap No radiation Portable Readily available.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d925503460f94a79388/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Diastolic function
Impaired diastolic relaxation LV wall thickness usually increased Increase LA size
