Quantitative evaluation of left ventricle performance from two dimensional echo images.

OBJECTIVES: We sought to quantify the left ventricle systolic dysfunction by a geometric index from two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography by implementing an automated fuzzy logic edge detection algorithm for the segmentation. BACKGROUND: The coronary injuries have repercussions on the left ventricle...
