However, inadequate image quality often hinders it. In this retrospective study, we investigated factors associated with LV image quality in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with ischemic CS.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Two critical care physicians accredited in echocardiography independently reviewed the TTEs of 100 patients admitted to our tertiary cardiac ICU with ST-elevation myocardial infarction complicated by CS between October 2016 and September 2019. Endocardial border definition (EBD) was graded for each myocardial segment of the apical 4-chamber and 2-chamber views using a conventional scoring system (1\u2009=\u2009good, 2\u2009=\u2009suboptimal, 3\u2009=\u2009poor, and 4\u2009=\u2009not possible). The biplane EBD index (EBDi) was calculated by averaging all segments from both views. An average EBDi of both observers was correlated with clinical and echocardiographic parameters. The median age was 62 years [54, 73], and 78% were males. LV ejection fraction and cardiac index (CI) medians were 29% [20, 35] and 1.93 l\/min\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> [1.40, 2.51], respectively. The median biplane EBDi was nearly suboptimal (1.833 [1.542, 2.083]). There was no correlation between EBDi and age, sex, or body mass index.
