EPLAR

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

There is no source supporting the actual subject of the article, which is "EPLAR – the echocardiographic Pulmonary to Left Atrial Ratio"
The three sources used only support work on doppler echocardiography and cardiac shunts not EPLAR
The only source for the subject is an unpublished lecture by the person who coined the term.

Delete. The sources don't support the subject of "ePLAR", and all I can find searching is this article and a couple of mirrors. The article even says ePLAR was only "conceptualized" as recently as September 2014, and apart from the single unpublished lecture given by one of the main authors of the article (or maybe two of them - blocked as alleged socks), the other refs predate that by years. So, there's not a single valid source that I can find, and unless someone with access to medical sources can find something then this really does not appear to be notable.
