Figure 7 Transesophageal measurements of fractional shortening. A: TG Mid SAX view of the left ventricle showing M-mode measurement of LVEDD and LVESD normalized for LVEDD. The bidimensional image is usually best imaged at a multiplane angle of 0°; B: TG LAX view of left ventricle showing M-Mode measurement of LVEDD and LVESD normalized for LVEDD usually best imaged at an angle of approximately 80°-110°. LAX: Long axis view; TG: Transgastric; LVEDD: Left ventricle end diastolic diameter; LVESD: Left ventricle end systolic diameter. Modified by Guarracino Fabio et al[61].
