Each echocardiogram | Each echocardiogram includes an evaluation of the LV dimensions, wall thicknesses and function. | ||
Good | Good measurements are essential and may have implications for therapy. The LV dimensions must be measured when the end-diastolic and end-systolic valves (MV and AoV) are closed in the parasternal long axis (PLAX) view. The measurement is performed in the basal portion of the LV by the chordae. | ||
