Figure 1 Measurement of the interventricular mechanical delay (IVMD) by Doppler echocardiography: the right ventricular and left ventricular (LV) preejection intervals are measured from the onset of the QRS on the electrocardiogram (ECG) to the onset of pulmonary (Pulm) (RV-PEI) and aortic (Ao) (LV-PEI) outflow; IVMD is calculated by subtracting the RV-PEI from the LV-PEI.
