Determine ED and ES
ES: end systolic, maximum contraction of the myocar-
dium, smallest left ventricular lumen.
ED: end diastolic, minimum contraction.
Use graphics tools (zoom & pan) to enlarge the image,
switch between images to select ES and ED. It is also
helpful to use the distance tool to find the images with
maximum and minimum myocardial contraction. If ED
or ES cannot be clearly determined because there are
two adjacent images with the same contraction, use
the phase in between.
