  • Reason
    When using the qlab auto 2d quantification (a2dq) and auto cardiac motion quantification (acmq) applications, the reported end-systolic volume (esv) may be smaller, and the left ventricular ejection fraction (ef) may be higher, than the esv and ef calculated by manual tracing without the use of qlab. an incorrect ef calculation could lead to misdiagnosis and/or delayed or incorrect therapy.
