| | shortening fraction | Explanation:
FR=fraction de raccourcissement=shortening fraction
http://www.ped-onc.org/survivors/cardio/cardiotests.html
"Shortening fraction. The shortening fraction is a slightly different way of measuring left ventricle performance. Instead of measuring and ratio-ing blood volumes, the shortening fraction measures and ratios the change in the diameter of the left ventricle between the contracted and relaxed states:
The normal range is 0.18-0.42, or 18-42% (reference: Measurements in Cardiology). According to the Oeffinger/Keene article, " . . . above 30% is considered normal, with 26 to 30% representing a mild decrease in function. . . . A decrease in the shortening fraction usually precedes a detectable decrease in the ejection fraction."
