โฆ Synopsis
Since data on systematic noninvasive quantitative assessment of left ven- tricular (LV) shape in ischemic heart disease are very scanty, we used new size-independent LV shape descriptors to study the correlation between LV shape and LV ejection fraction in 46 men with a 70% or more stenosis of one or more coronary arteries on angiography. Angiocardiographic LV ejection fraction was over 55% [mean: 69 ( t 6

Left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) was prospectively predicted by non- volumetric parameters obtained by M-mode and two-dimensional (2DE) echocardiography in 55 patients with angiographically proven coronary artery disease. In particular, the mitral E-point to septum separation (EPSS) could pre
