Left ventricular volumes - Calculation

 

<< Back Left ventricular monoplane volume (M-mode, Teicholz formula)
(EDD3 x 7) / (2.4 + EDD )    (ml)   (Teicholz et al., 1976)
1   2 Left ventricular monoplane volume (Dodge formula)
[(area planimetry x 8) / (3 x p  x long axis)]    (ml)
Left ventricular monoplane volume (Area/length, Dodge correction)

[((area planimetry2 x 8) / (3 x p  x long axis)) x 0.951] -3    (ml)
(Erbel et al., 1982)
Left ventricular biplane volume (Area/length, Dodge correction)

(area planimetry1 x area planimetry2 x 8) / (3 x p  x smallest long axis)   (ml)

2D examination of the left ventricle

Normal systolic function and segmental wall kinesis. 

Left panel: apical 4-chamber view. Clockwise: interventricular septum, apex and antero-lateral wall. 
Right panel: apical 2-chamber view. Clockwise: infero-posterior wall, apex and anterior wall.

Normal values.
