Standardized Myocardial Segmentation and Nomenclature for Tomographic Imaging of the Heart

TLDR
A remarkable committee was convened: The American Heart Association Writing Group on Myocardial Segmentation and Registration for Cardiac Imaging came to an agreement upon all aspects of nomenclature and anatomic descriptions of the heart.
Abstract
Nuclear cardiology, echocardiography, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), cardiac computed tomography (cardiac CT), positron emission computed tomography (PET), and coronary angiography are im...

Recommendations for quantitation of the left ventricle by two-dimensional echocardiography. American Society of Echocardiography Committee on Standards, Subcommittee on Quantitation of Two-Dimensional Echocardiograms.

TL;DR: It is the opinion that current technology justifies the clinical use of the quantitative two-dimensional methods described in this article and the routine reporting of left ventricular ejection fraction, diastolic volume, mass, and wall motion score.

Report of the American Society of Echocardiography Committee on Nomenclature and Standards in Two-dimensional Echocardiography.

TL;DR: The Committee recommends that when the transducer is placed in the suprasternal notch that it be referred to as in the subcostal location and in those unusual situations in which the apex impulse is palpated on the right chest, a transducers placed over the right-sided apex impulse will be referredTo the right parasternal location.

Standardized Nomenclature and Anatomic Basis for Regional Tomographic Analysis of the Heart

TL;DR: The concept of regional analysis of the heart is described, and a standardized system of nomenclature is offered for the pathologist and the clinician.

Nonparallel changes in global left ventricular chamber volume and muscle mass during the first year after transmural myocardial infarction in humans

TL;DR: Overall, left ventricular end-diastolic and end-systolic chamber volumes increase progressively from hospital discharge to 1 year after an initial transmural myocardial infarction in patients with a moderately large anterior wall infarctions but remain stable in Patients with a small inferior wall Infarction.
