The LV Mass (A-L) is calculated.
If height and weight have been input already, LV Mass-I(A-L) is calculated.

Study Results
Except for values in upper table, the following results can be obtained in this study:
Tools
LV Mass (T-E)
Left Ventricular Mass
Index of Left
LV MASS-I (T-E)
Ventricular Mass
*1 means:
LV
Mass(g)
Where, units of a, b, d, t are cm.
a: Semi-major axis from widest minor axis radius to apex
d: Truncated semi-major axis from widest minor axis radius to mitral annulus plane
t: Thickness of the myocardium
t
(cm)
b: Short axis radius, usually measured where the radius is largest.
Operating Procedures
1. Select [LV Mass(T-E)] in the measurement menu.
2. In short-axis view at papillary muscle level at end diastole, measure the following parameters:
Endocardium area: LVAd sax Endo;
Epicardium area LVAd sax Epi
3. Measure a and d.
The LV Mass(T-E) is calculated.
If height and weight have been input already, LV Mass-I(T-E) is calculated.
