New Mathematical Model for the Surface Area of the Left Ventricle by the Truncated Prolate Spheroid

Figure 4

We have, in (a), an adaptation of a figure withdrawal from [8]. In (b), with an adaptation from [16], on the left, we have a more realistic picture of the LV and, on the right, there is a real image obtained through echocardiography. In both cases, the adequate way of obtaining the measures is highlighted. In (c), adapted from [17], one of the possibilities of obtaining the measures is presented, in which it is established that value must be obtained at the point that divides into 1/3 and 2/3 proportions.
