11. Meriodinal wall stress

where P represents LV peak pressure, Ac is LV cavity area, and Am represents LV myocardial area (area of the muscle in the short-axis view)

3. Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (mm) From the transgastric RV inflow view and using M-mode, the movement of the leading edge of the lateral tricuspid annulus attachment is tracked during systole, and its excursion measured

4. Myocardial performance index =

5. dP/dt (mm Hg/s) =

12 × 1000/dt

where dt (in msec) is the time for velocity to rise from 1 m/s to 2 m/s on a continuous wave Doppler tracing of tricuspid regurgitation

1. Doppler shift

Δf = Difference between the transmitted frequency (ft) and received frequency

v = Velocity of red blood cells

θ = Angle between the Doppler beam and the direction of blood flow

c = Speed of ultrasound in blood (1540m/sec)
