Left Ventricular Fractional Shortening

Preferred Label : Left Ventricular Fractional Shortening;

NCIt synonyms : Shortening Fraction;

NCIt related terms : LVFS;

NCIt definition : The fraction of the left ventricle diastolic dimension that is lost during systole; the measurement is calculated using the following formula: (end-diastolic dimension - end-systolic dimension) / end-diastolic dimension; the quotient is then multiplied by one hundred to be expressed as a percent.;

Alternative definition : CDISC: The reduction in the length of the end-diastolic diameter dimension that occurs between end-systole and end-diastole, expressed as a fraction of the end-diastolic dimension. Calculation of the left ventricular fractional shortening is per the following formula: [(end-diastolic dimension minus end-systolic dimension) divided by end-diastolic dimension] multiplied by 100.;
