Revisiting Echocardiographic Ranges of Left Ventricular End-Diastolic Volume Index: An Analysis of the Discrepancies Between the 2006 and the 2015 Recommendation for Chamber Quantification Guidelines.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Indexed left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDVi) is a left ventricle (LV) size marker. The "Recommendations for Chamber Quantification" guideline was published in 2006 and updated in 2015. Although the previous guideline maintained uniform cutoff points for both men and women, the latest revision introduced new thresholds that vary between genders. We evaluated the extent of change in labeled indexed LV diastolic volumes in men and women following the adoption of the 2015 guideline.

Methods

Data were extracted from a web-based registry from March 2020 to October 2022. LV indexed volume variables were categorized on the basis of the 2006 and 2015 guidelines.

Results

Among the 7598 individuals, the classification of LVEDVi differed in 910 (12.0%) indivi
