Abstract

abstract

Normal left ventricular function is characterized by synchronous firing of myocardial muscle fibers. Healthy myocardial function is essential in maintaining cardiac output, and any disturbance to the contracting muscle cells can be detrimental to the health of the heart. A method for non-invasively monitoring left ventricle (LV) operation is necessary for documenting the progression of heart disease and malfunction, such that the point at which disease becomes irreversible can be determined.
