What is LV End-Diastolic Volume?
Left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) is the amount of blood in the heart's left ventricle just before it contracts. It represents the maximum filling of the ventricle at the end of the relaxation phase (diastole).
LVEDV is a key measure of cardiac preload, reflecting how much the heart muscle stretches before each beat. For an average-sized adult male, a typical LVEDV is around 120 mL, with women having slightly lower values.
Along with end-systolic volume, LVEDV is used to calculate stroke volume (the amount of blood pumped per beat) and ejection fraction, both of which are central to assessing heart function.
Where Does LV End-Diastolic Volume Come From?
LVEDV is determined by the volume of blood returning to the left ventricle from the pulmonary veins and left atrium during diastole, as well as the compliance (stretchability) of the ventricular wall itself.
