Figure

• 

  Fig. 1 Full volume 3-dimensional echocardiography of the left ventricle in diastolic phase (A) and systolic phase (B) and the time-volume curve of the left ventricle according to the percentage of the cardiac cycle (C). EDV: end-diastolic volume, ESV: end-systolic volume, SV: stroke volume, EF: ejection fraction.

• 

  Fig. 2 2-dimensional echocardiography of the left ventricle (LV) in apical 4 chamber view (A and B), apical 2 chamber view (C and D) and parasternal short axis view at papillary muscle level (E and F) (left column: end-diastolic phase, right column: end-systolic phase). A-D show a bi-plane method for measuring LV ejection fraction.

• 

  Fig. 3 Serial short-axis cuttings of 3-dimensional echocardiography of the left ventricle from the mitral valve level to the apex in diastolic phase (A) and systolic phase (B). Arrows indicate the suture site on the base of the discontinuity of myocardial motion and the short distance between medial and lateral papillary muscles.
