Doppler and two‐dimensional echocardiography are being increasingly used for the indirect
assessment of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function. In this article the alterations in LV filling …

The pattern of left ventricular (LV) filling can be determined by Doppler echocardiography.
Normally most LV filling occurs early in diastole, with some additional filling occurring during …

Left ventricular diastolic filling can be determined reliably by Doppler-derived mitral and
pulmonary venous flow velocities. Diastolic filling abnormalities are broadly classified at …

The role of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function in health and disease is still incompletely
understood and underappreciated by most primary care physicians and many cardiologists …

Abnormalities of diastolic filling are increasingly recognized as a cause of symptoms and
predictors of outcome in patients with most forms of heart disease. Noninvasive assessment …

Abnormalities of diastolic function have a major role in producing the signs and symptoms of
heart failure. However, diastolic function of the heart is a complex sequence of multiple …

Left ventricular diastolic function is a broad term which refers to a group of complex
processes which interact to determine the resistance to filling of the left ventricle.'Impairment …

Objectives. To evaluate left ventricular diastolic function and differentiate the
pseudonormalized transmitral flow pattern from the normal pattern, the propagation of left …

This study investigated the influence of left ventricular end-diastolic filling pressure (LVEDP)
on instantaneous transmitral inflow velocities as assesed by pulsed Doppler …

Diastolic function is routinely assessed using Doppler-derived left ventricular (LV) filling
patterns. Ratios between peak flow velocities during early filling and atrial contraction (EA) …
