May 26, 2021 · The E-Point Septal Separation (EPSS) is an easy measurement to obtain that is accurate in estimating the LVEF. EPSS is measured in the parasternal long axis view (PLAX) of the …

E-Point Septal Separation (EPSS) refers to the distance between the anterior leaflet mitral valve and the septum when the mitral valve has reached maximum excursion during early diastolic filling.

In this retrospective diagnostic study, we found a good accuracy of E-Point Septal Separation for the diagnosis of mildly reduced and reduced ejection fraction with Echocardiography in patients with …

This study examined the predictive relationship between ED physician performed bedside mitral-valve E-point septal separation (EPSS) measurements to the quantitative, calculated LVEF.

E-point septal separation is a measurement of how close the anterior mitral valve leaflet comes towards the interventricular septum and has been shown to be a quick and easy method for estimating LVEF.

Thus, a healthy heart will have a very small distance between the E-point and the inter-ventricular septum, and this distance is called the E-Point Septal Separation (EPSS). Therefore, EPSS is …

Jan 26, 2026 · Among POCUS-derived parameters, E-point septal separation (EPSS) is a simple and rapid M-mode measurement defined as the minimal distance between the anterior mitral valve leaflet …

E-Point Septal Separation How-to Obtain a PLAX view with visualization of the mitral valve leaflets and interventricular septum. Select M-mode and place the cursor at the tip of the anterior mitral valve leaflet.

Jan 29, 2025 · To determine how accurate EPSS is for diagnosing reduced LVEF in adult patients. We used the Cochrane methods for diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) reviews. We searched Pubmed, …

Apr 11, 2026 · EPSS (E-Point Septal Separation) is the minimal distance between the anterior mitral valve leaflet (E-point) and the interventricular septum during early diastole measured on M-mode …
