FAC (RV)
Lang, R. et al. “Recommendations for Cardiac Chamber quantification by Echocardiography in Adults: An
update from the American Society of Echocardiography and European Association of Cardiovascular
Imaging.”

RV FAC (%) = (RV EDA – RV ESA) / RV EDA * 100
where:
RV FAC = Right Ventricular Fractional Area Change (%)
RV EDA = Right Ventricular End-diastolic area (cm^2)
RV ESA = Right Ventricular End-systolic area (cm^2)
Heart Rate (HR) in bpm
HR = 3 digit value input by user or measured on M Mode and Doppler image in one heart cycle
Interventricular Septum (IVS) Fractional Thickening, percent
Laurenceau, J. L., M.C. Malergue. The Essentials of Echocardiography . Le Hague: Martinus Nijhoff, (1981),
p.71.
IVSFT = ((IVSS – IVSD)/IVSD) * 100%
where:
IVSS = Interventricular Septal Thickness at Systole
IVSD = Interventricular Septal Thickness at Diastole

[time a - time b]
where:
time a = mitral valve opening;
time b = aortic valve closure
IVC Percentage Collapse

(IVCd exp – IVCd insp)/IVCd exp
where:
expiration (exp) = maximum diameter (Max D)
inspiration (insp) = minimum diameter (Min D)
