Pulsed Doppler measurements on both sides of the mitral valve and M-mode left ventricular
echocardiograms were performed in 215 healthy subjects, 120 males and 95 females …

The fundamental importance of cardiac filling in regulating performance of the heart was
recognized by Starling (I) early in this century. Development of comprehensive ventricular …

The relation between Doppler and digitized M-mode echocardiographic indexes of left
ventricular (LV) diastolic function was analyzed. Diastolic variables obtained with these 2 …

Doppler analysis of mitral flow provides a means of analyzing left ventricular (LV) diastolic
function. While experimental studies have suggested that changes in left atrial pressure may …

To determine the relationship between Doppler-derived flow velocity through the mitral
anulus and angiographic parameters of left ventricular filling, 30 patients were studied by …

D iastolic dysfunction of the left ventricle is an important cause of cardiac morbidity and
appears to be one of the earliest detectable abnormalities in a number of disorders. 1-6 Left …

OBJECTIVES.: The purpose of this study was to examine the relation of the mitral flow
velocity curves to left ventricular filling pressures in patients with two different types of …

Recent studies (1, 2) have reemphasized the importance of left ventricular diastolic
dysfunction in the production of signs and symptoms of cardiac disease. Abnormal left …

Objectives. This study was designed to determine the usefulness of transthoracic Doppler
measurements in detecting increased left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic pressure in patients …

Early detection and prevention of cardiac dysfunction is an important goal in the
management of hypertensive patients. In this study, Doppler echocardiography was used to …
