Objectives. The purpose of this study was to determine whether left atrial size and ejection
fraction are related to left ventricular filling pressures in patients with coronary artery …

To assess right ventricular filling dynamics in systemic hypertension, pulsed Doppler
echocardiographic studies were obtained at the tricuspid and mitral anuli in 43 untreated …

The purpose of this study was to determine whether age-related alterations in Doppler
diastolic filling indexes occur independent of cardiovascular disease and confounding …

Transmitral diastolic inflow velocities determined by Doppler echocardiography have been
shown to reflect left ventricular (LV) filling rates, and are therefore dependent on ventricular …

To confirm age-related changes in left and right ventricular filling velocity profiles and to
compare left and right ventricular filling parameters in normal subjects, we performed pulsed …

• During the last six years, there has been increased interest In the detection of
abnormalities of left ventricular diastolic function in patients with heart disease. Before 1981 …

This investigation was performed to determine whether variables obtained directly from the
Doppler left ventricular diastolic flow velocity profile provide a reliable estimate of diastolic …

The evaluation of left ventricular diastolic function provides important information about
hemodynamics and has prognostic implications for various cardiac diseases. In particular …

Echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function is an integral part of
the routine evaluation of patients presenting with symptoms of dyspnea or heart failure. The …

Noninvasive assessment of left ventricular filling pressures by echocardiography has been
validated by invasive hemodynamic studies and correlated with clinical findings. A …
