Abstract
Values for EF primarily depend on ESV, both for LV and RV. This relationship is essentially nonlinear, and similar for both sexes. A logarithmic approximation is convenient and often acceptable. However, application of linear regression for EF vs ESV may lead to incorrect conclusions, particularly when comparing males and females.
