Nonsurgical management of a tricuspid valvular pedunculated papillary fibroelastoma.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF) assessed by two-dimensional echocardiography (2DE) is the most widely used parameter for clinical decision-making, but reproducibility and accuracy problems remain.
