eyeball Guessing Ejection fraction

[@irineojason]

Why does my report say the visual estimate of 50 to 55% but the LV biplane EF is 68%?

[@masteringEcho-US-cardiology]

@@irineojason depends on how it's measured.sometines view (s) is off axis and overestimate , that's the reason measurements should be correspond with visual estimation ( all views) . Good experienced eyes estimation is more accurate than biplane

[@irineojason]

My EF was 68% last year was done by another dr. The year before that it was 55-60%. Visual estimates corresponded with measurements.
So how come it’s not corresponding this year.
I’ll go with the biplane.
