Each echocardiogram is an evaluation of the LV dimensions, wall thicknesses and function.  
Each echocardiogram should include an evaluation of the LV dimensions, wall thicknesses and function.  


There has to be conducted several (read: different) measurements to be a good estimate of LV function.
Several (read: different) measurements have to be performed from different views to asses a good estimate of LV function.
