Figure 1From: Structural and functional changes in maternal left ventricle during pregnancy: a three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography studyAutomated detection of the endocardium and epicardial border throughout the whole cardiac cycle. Consequently end-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV), ejection fraction (EF), stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO), sphericity index(Spl) and LV mass either at end-diastole (EDMass) or at end-systole (ESMass) were automatically calculated.Back to article page
