Figure 53. Echo recording in parasternal short-axis projection showing the left ventricular (LV) internal dimensions in end-diastole (LVIDd) and systole (LVIDs). These dimensions may be used to compute fractional shortening (%FS), along with other data shown in the insert. Inter-ventricular septum (IVS), left ventricular posterior wall (LVPW), and right ventricle (RV) are also labeled. Reproduced from Ref.^[36].
