CLINICAL MEASUREMENT - ANNOTATIONS

The Clinical Measurement Ontology (CMO), Measurement Methods Ontology (MMO), and Experimental Condition Ontology (XCO) are currently being developed at the Rat Genome Database. For more information about these vocabularies please see Shimoyama et al. Three ontologies to define phenotype measurement data. Front Genet. 2012;3:87.

Accession:CMO:0002597 term browser browse the term
Definition:The thickness or depth (i.e. the measurement of the two-dimensional extent of the distance between the inner and outer surfaces) of the dorsal/posterior wall of the left ventricle of the heart at the end of diastole, that is, when the heart muscle is maximally relaxed. The dorsal wall is the portion of the muscle enclosing the ventricle which is closest to the spine and farthest from the chest wall of the organism.
Comment:Note that "left" in this context refers to the perspective of the organism, not that of the observer.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: end-diastolic heart left ventricle PWT;   end-diastolic heart left ventricle posterior wall thickness
