(1) Background: The presence of restrictive left ventricular diastolic filling pattern (LVDFP) is
associated with an unfavorable prognosis in many cardiac diseases, but few data are …

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 …

Objective The aim of our study was to assess whether E/E'provides prognostic information in
patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. Methods We studied 33 patients with dilated …

This study sought to investigate, in patients with idiopathic-dilated cardiomyopathy, the
clinical and prognostic value of a Doppler-derived index of myocardial function that …

Background This study assesses the prognostic values of left ventricular (LV) filling patterns,
as determined by tissue Doppler imaging (TDI), on cardiac events in patients with LV systolic …

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 …
