    English: Normal values for Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) and Forced Expiratory Flow 25–75% (FEF25–75%). Y-axis is expressed in Litres for FVC and FEV1, and in Litres/second for FEF25–75%.

  3. Transthoracic echocardiogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transthoracic_echocardiogram

    A transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) is the most common type of echocardiogram, which is a still or moving image of the internal parts of the heart using ultrasound. In this case, the probe (or ultrasonic transducer ) is placed on the chest or abdomen of the subject to get various views of the heart.

  4. Ejection fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ejection_fraction

    Modalities applied to measurement of ejection fraction is an emerging field of medical mathematics and subsequent computational applications. The first common measurement method is echocardiography, [7] [8] although cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), [8] [9] cardiac computed tomography, [8] [9] ventriculography and nuclear medicine (gated SPECT and radionuclide angiography) [8] [10 ...

  5. Echocardiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echocardiography

    Echocardiography, also known as cardiac ultrasound, is the use of ultrasound to examine the heart. It is a type of medical imaging, using standard ultrasound or Doppler ultrasound. [1] The visual image formed using this technique is called an echocardiogram, a cardiac echo, or simply an echo.

  6. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_failure_with...

    Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a form of heart failure in which the ejection fraction – the percentage of the volume of blood ejected from the left ventricle with each heartbeat divided by the volume of blood when the left ventricle is maximally filled – is normal, defined as greater than 50%; [1] this may be measured by echocardiography or cardiac catheterization.

  7. Left atrial enlargement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_atrial_enlargement

    Indexing the left atrial volume to body surface area (volume/BSA) is recommended by the American Society of Echocardiography and the European Association of Echocardiography. The values for volume/BSA in the following table are the best validated, and are the same for both men and women. [9]

  8. Bruce protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_protocol

    Initial experiments involved a single-stage test, in which subjects walked for 10 minutes on the treadmill at a fixed workload. Bruce's first reports on treadmill exercise tests, published in 1949, analyzed minute-by-minute changes in respiratory and circulatory function of normal adults and patients with heart or lung disease.

  9. Tissue Doppler echocardiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Tissue_Doppler_echocardiography

    Age dependent normal values for S', e' and a'. The e'/a' ratio becomes <1 about 60 years of age, which is similar to the E/A ratio of mitral flow. Women has slightly higher S' and e' velocities than men, although the difference disappears with age.
