Objective. To compare the left ventricular function in patients with ischemic and nonischemic
cardiomyopathy using tissue Doppler echocardiography (TDE). Methods. We studied 30 …

Although diastolic dysfunction is the initial alteration in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), and
systolic and diastolic dysfunctions generally coexist during the clinical course of DCM, left …

Aims The aim of the study was to characterize left ventricular (LV) function by Doppler tissue
imaging (DTI) after a first myocardial infarction (MI) where the conventional echo-Doppler …

The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between left ventricular (LV) diastolic
dysfunction measured by Doppler mitral flow indices (Dmfi) and LV systolic performance in …

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 …

Tissue Doppler Echocardiography was introduced in the 1960s (Yoshida et al., 1961), and
enabled the quantitative assessment of myocardial motion and deformation. The wide use of …

Tissue Doppler and its derived parameters strain and strain rate show characteristic
changes in patients with cardiomyopathy. Longitudinal systolic (S) and early diastolic (E') …

Left ventricular (LV) flow dynamics were analyzed by pulsed Doppler echocardiography in
patients (pts) with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Subjects consisted of five normal controls …

Tissue Doppler echocardiography has already been available on clinical ultrasound
machines for 8 years. Although this echo modality offers important information on regional …

Aim To determine how the left ventricular wall motion assessed by echocardiographic
Tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI) is affected by increasing severity of coronary artery disease …
