EVALUATION OF LEFT VENTRICULAR PREEJECTION SYSTOLE IN NORMAL CHILDREN BY ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY
The period of systole prior to left ventricular (LV) ejection (PES) can be assessed from echograms (E), by measuring the interval from the onset of the electrical Q wave to: coaptation of the mitral valve (Q-M...

THE RATIO OF SYSTOLIC TIME INTERVALS OF LEFT VENTRICLE IN NORMAL CHILDREN-ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC STUDY
Current techniques utilize data derived from the aortic valve (AV) to determine the ratio between the pre-ejection (PEP) and ejection period (EP) of left ventricle (LV) in children. Mitral valve (MV), septum (...

ANALYSIS OF THE TEMPORAL SEQUENCE OF LEFT VENTRICULAR SYSTOLE IN NORMAL CHILDREN BY ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY
Little data are available regarding measurements of the active state of left ventricular (LV) segmental contraction. Thus we performed echograms (E) in 40 normal school children, to establish and relate normal...
