The relation of left ventricular (LV) diastolic filling with the clinical outcome in patients with
idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC) was examined. LV diastolic filling was assessed by …

In idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC), an impaired left ventricular filling as assessed by
the Doppler echocardiographic mitral flow pattem is closely related to the severity of …

To determine the prognostic significance of pulsed wave Doppler-derived left ventricular
diastolic filling velocity profiles and the relationship between Doppler variables and clinial …

Objectives. This study was undertaken to evaluate the frequency of restrictive left ventricular
filling pattern in dilated cardiomyopathy, as well as its clinical and hemodynamic correlations …

Left ventricular systolic function does not correlate well with functional class in patients with
dilated cardiomyopathy. To determine whether the correlation is better with Doppler indexes …

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a major cause of mortality among patients with heart
failure. The aim of the present study was to investigate the independent contribution of …

Patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DC) have been reported to have abnormal left
ventricular (LV) diastolic properties. To evaluate LV diastolic filling characteristics in patients …

BACKGROUND Dilated cardiomyopathy is an important cause of morbidity and mortality
among patients with congestive heart failure. Hemodynamic and prognostic characterization …

Objectives. We sought to assess the prognostic implications of the evolution of restrictive left
ventricular filling pattern (RFP) in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Background. Previous …

The heart contracts in systole and relaxes and expands in diastole. Because the heart
supplies blood to peripheral organs, left ventricular ejection performance is obviously …
