About this calculator
The Mass Cardiac Ecardio, also known as Devereux formula, is an estimate used to calculate the volume of the left ventricle of the heart through an echocardiogram.
This formula is widely used by the Medical Community to evaluate the size of the left ventricle and diagnose heart conditions such as left ventricular hypertrophy or left ventricular dilatation.
The formula is an application of echocardiography to calculate the volume of the left ventricle based on the dimensions of the anterior septum and the posterior wall of the left ventricle.
Special care must be taken when interpreting the results of this formula, as it is not a direct measurement of the volume of the left ventricle.
