ABSTRACT

Systolic ✓ These are made at the smallest left ventricular chamber size. ♥ Measure both diastolic and systolic indices in the following manner:

• Septum-from the top of the septum to the bottom of the septum, including the lines that define its boundaries

• Left ventricular chamber-from the bottom of the septum to the top of the wall. Do not include the lines defining the septal and wall boundaries.
