Figure 1From: The subxiphoid view cannot replace the apical view for transthoracic echocardiographic assessment of hemodynamic statusRegression plot and Bland-Altman analysis between apical and subxiphoid views for the various parameters in the subpopulation of 65 patients. (LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; Ao VTI, velocity time integral of aortic blood flow; E/A, ratio between early and late mitral inflow; E/Ea, ratio between early mitral inflow and displacement of the mitral annulus on tissue Doppler imaging; RVEDA/LVEDA, ratio between right and left ventricular end-diastolic area.Back to article page
