Abstract

One of the most frequently asked investigation, both in clinical cardiology and echocardiography, is evaluation of left ventricle (LV) for size and functions. The evaluation of LV functions has significant prognostic and therapeutic value. Echocardiography is one of the most valuable and informative noninvasive modality in this regard, especially in respect of its portability in any location, giving unmatched diagnostic information, immediate results and thus altering management strategy. This chapter covers the measurement of lv linear dimensions, evaluation of global LV systolic functions, and other important global lv function parameters. The recommended measurements of LV include LV end-diastolic and end-systolic diameters, interventricular septal and inferolateral wall thickness.
