LOINC description : This term represents the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) based on left ventricular
(LV) end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes as calculated by the Teichholz method
from measurements taken during 2D cardiac echo. The Teichholz formula is used to calculate
left ventricular volume as follows: LV end-diastolic volume [7/2.4 Dd]x[Dd] 3,
where Dd the left ventricular internal dimension (short axis) as measured at end-diastole,
and LV end-systolic volume [7/2.4 Ds]x[Ds] 3, where Ds the left ventricular
internal dimension (short axis) as measured at end-systole. [PMID: 1244736];
