Automated Left Ventricular Function Evaluation by LVivoEF — LVivoEF  

Left Ventricular Function Clinical Trial

Official title: Automated Left Ventricular Function Evaluation by LVivoEF

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) is evaluated in every echocardiographic examination either by visual estimation (eyeballing) requiring high level of training and expertise and/or by manual tracing of the endocard from which EF is calculated (manual biplane method (MBP)). This procedure is subjective and time consuming. The objective of this study is to compare the performance of LVivoEF software system to the measurements obtained by the routinely used methods.

Clinical Trial Description

LVivoEF is a decision support system (software) for automated global left ventricle (LV) systolic function evaluation from echocardiographic examinations. LVivoEF technology is based on a novel image processing algorithm for LV edge detection and ejection fraction (EF) evaluation. LVivoEF provides fully automated measurements of the left ventricle (LV) from two apical views the four chamber (4CH) and the two chamber (2CH). ;
