Abstract
Ejection fraction (EF) is an incomplete metric and requires consideration of an associated companion (EFC) metric. This figure is based on 96 cardiac patients, including those with acute myocardial infarction (MI). For mid-range EF (with values ranging from 40% to 50%) the brown-colored area indicates the distribution of the EFC for these patients. Only the combination of EF and EFC can define the unique location of each patient. Likewise, data points are spread for any other EF range, for example, those with 55<EF<60% (see yellow area). Volume data obtained by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (courtesy of Prof. R. A. Diaz-Navarro).
射血分数(EF)是一个不完整的指标,需要考虑相关的辅助指标(EFC)。本图基于 96 名心脏病患者,包括急性心肌梗死(MI)患者。对于中等范围的 EF 值(从 40% 到 50% 不等),棕色区域表示这些患者的 EFC 分布情况。只有 EF 和 EFC 的组合才能确定每位患者的独特位置。同样,任何其他 EF 范围的数据点也会分布,例如,EF 为 55<EF<60% 的患者(见黄色区域)。心脏磁共振成像获得的体积数据(由 R. A. Diaz-Navarro 教授提供)。
