Eccentricity Index of Ryan et al for Distinguishing Right Ventricular Volume Overload from Right Ventricular Pressure Overload
Specialty: | Cardiology |
Objective: | |
ICD-10: | |
Description: | Ryan et al used echocardiography to measure dimensions of the left ventricle during end-systole and end-diastole. These can be used to generate the eccentricity index (EI), which can separate right ventricular volume overload from right ventricular pressure overload. The authors are from Indiana University. |
