Table 2 Echocardigraphic measurements

From: Does left atrial volume affect exercise capacity of heart transplant recipients?

Variables

 

Left ventricular ejection fraction (%)

67 ± 7

Left ventricular end diastolic volume (ml)

68 ± 19

Indexed Left ventricular end diastolic volume (ml/m2)

34 ± 9

Left atrial volume (ml)

83.5 ± 23.7

Indexed-left atrial volume (ml/m2)

40.6 ± 11.5

Change in left atrial volume (ml/year)

3.9 ± 17.6

Indexed-change in left atrial volume (ml/year/m2)

1.9 ± 8.5

Mitral inflow peak diastolic E velocity (cm/sec)

85.0 ± 23.1

Mitral inflow peak diastolic A velocity (cm/sec)

41.3 ± 13.5

Mitral valve inflow E/A

2.3 ± 1.1

Peak diastolic E velocity of lateral mitral annulus

13.8 ± 3.7

E/E'

6.8 ± 3.3

  1. E = diastolic early filling. A = diastolic atrial contraction. E/A = ratio of peak E velocity to A velocity of mitral inflow. E/E' = ratio of peak E mitral inflow velocity of peak E velocity of lateral mitral annulus. Data are mean ± SD. n = 50 except change in left atrial volume (n = 40).
