shape-based contractility index(English)

• a biomechanical measure used to evaluate the pumping efficiency of the heart's left ventricle based on its geometry, specifically how its shape changes during contraction, rather than relying solely on pressure or volume measurements. It quantifies the clinical observation that a healthy left ventricle (LV) is ellipsoidal, while a failing, poorly contracting heart becomes more spherical
