TI  - Assessment of left ventricular function in patients with mitral regurgitation: 
      value of the forward ejection fraction.
PG  - 355-61
AB  - This study was aimed at assessing the value of preoperative forward ejection 
      fraction (FEF) and corrected forward ejection fraction (CFEF) as an index of 
      postoperative myocardial function. Utilizing 34 patients with mitral 
      regurgitation, usefulness of the preoperative FEF and CFEF was evaluated with 
      special reference to incidence of postoperative low output syndrome (LOS) and 
      improvement in the New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification, comparing 
      other indices of left ventricular function such as cardiac index (CI), stroke 
      index (SI), left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI) and left 
      ventricular end-systolic volume index (LVESVI). There was a significant 
      correlation between FEF and CI, SI, LVEDVI or LVESVI, and between CFEF and CI, 
      SI, LVEDVI or LVESVI. The FEF and CFEF, however, were better indicators for 
      predicting the occurrence of postoperative LOS than EF. Postoperative 
      improvements in the NYHA classification were parallel to that of the FEF and CFEF 
      changes, but did not coincide with that of the EF. Based on these findings, it is 
      concluded that FEF and CFEF are more useful indicators than EF for evaluation of 
      left ventricular myocardial performance in patients with mitral regurgitation.
