How Is Epss Ef Calculated

EPSS is measured at 15.31. Using the formula (EF = 75.5 – 2.5 x EPSS), the ejection fraction is estimated to be 37.2%, relatively consistent with patient’s previous measurement of 36.9%.

What does EPSS measure?

The EPSS was measured in millimeters (mm) as the minimal separation distance between the mitral valve anterior leaflet and the ventricular septum, usually occurring at the maximal filling phase of cardiac cycle(Figure ​ 1a).
