Abstract


Abstract: This work aims to study the linear correlation between the surface area and the left ventricle volume, considering that this cardiac chamber has the truncated prolate spheroid geometry, and also aims to compare it with a correlation between these two parameters, already described in literature. We used mathematical models to determine
the surface area and the left ventricle volume. The volumes that were considered for its real terms and for patients with no cardiac abnormalities, obtained in medical literature. The volumes of this chamber were obtained in the same bibliographic reference. They were determined by MRI and were used to find more realistic correlations.
Key words: Ventricular volume, ventricular surface area, truncated prolate spheroid, left ventricle, mathematical models.
