Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1. Comparison of 2D mitral EPSS-based LVEF & 3D mitral EPSS-based LVEF with 2D LVEF measured
from modified Simpson’s formula in patients with normal LV systolic function (LVEF more than 52% in
men & 54% in women) & their correlation with LVEF obtained by 3DE volumetric assessment as a reference method.
2. Correlation of 3D mitral EPSS area with 2DE modified Simpson’s LVEF & 3DE LVEF in patients with
good LV & deranged LV function. We also would try to derive a formula to calculate LVEF using 3D
EPSS area.

Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1. Comparison of LVEF obtained by 2D & 3D mitral EPSS, modified Simpson’s formula and their
correlation with LVEF obtained by 3DE volumetric assessment as a reference method.
i.) in patients with deranged LV systolic function
ii.) in patients without dilated LV
iii.) formula in patients with dilated LV

2. Correlation of 3D mitral EPSS area with measured LVEF in patients with dilated LV and non-dilated
LV. We also would try to derive a formula to calculate LVEF using 3D EPSS area.
3. To assess the correlation between 3D EPSS on postoperative outcome parameters
4. To ascertain the intraobserver variability and interobserver variability.

Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
Estimation of left ventricular ejection (LVEF) fraction is an integral part of assessment of LV systolicfunction and most commonly used to assess LV systolic function, and the reduction of LVEF is seen to be associate with decreased survival rate(4).The gold standard for assessment of LVEF is using Cardiac MR(CMR) . Estimation of LVEF using modified Simpson’s biplane technique is routinely performed during cardiac surgery in the pre and post cardiopulmonary bypass period and is the currently the only recommended method for calculation of LVEF using TEE. Off all the different echo modalities used for assessment of EF, compared to CMR, 3DE currently offers the closest approximation. 3DE uses volumetric approach for acquisition of data , its visualization and quantification. This allows distance between 2 structures to be measured more accurately. Mitral EPSS is largely utilized in the emergency care for quick and reliable assessment of EF. EPSS was initially studied in 1970s as easily measured, quantitative index of LV function with a good reproducibility
Elagha A et al. studied Mitral EPSS by CMR and found that EPSS measurement by CMR is reliable and easy to perform and allows parallel assessment of LV function in both normal patients and patients having
myocardial fibrosis.Cosansu et al. was able to prove that the ratio of left ventricular internal diameter in diastole(LVIDd) with EPSS or LVIDd/EPSS was able to predict advanced HF and cases with EF<40% more
accurately .Area of separation of mitral valve from LV septal wall can be measured on 3DE. 3DE assessment of mitral EPSS and EPSS area has a potential to predict LVEF more accurately and currently remains an unstudied territory.
