A new ECG biomarker for sudden cardiac death

…suddenly never had an ejection fraction measured before death, and among those who did, only a minority had a reduced value — the majority of sudden…

Fractional shortening for estimation of ejection fraction

…Advantages of fractional shortening If ventricular geometry is normal and there are no regional wall motion abnormalities, then fractional shortening correlates strongly with ejection fraction…
