The ratio of early transmitral blood flow velocity over tissue Doppler early diastolic mitral
annulus velocity (E/e′) was found unreliable for estimating pulmonary capillary wedge …

In 1988, Appleton et al.(1) investigated the relation between transmitral Doppler flow
dynamics and invasively determined measurements of pressure and flow in a variety of …

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 …

We recorded left ventricular inflow (LVIF) and pulmonary venous flow (PVF) velocities by
trans‐esophageal pulsed Doppler echocardiography in 25 patients with a ratio of peak atrial …

Objectives. This study sought to determine the applicability of the combined information
obtained from transmitral Doppler flow and color M-mode Doppler flow propagation …

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) …

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 …

The difference in the durations of flow with atrial contraction (A duration) at the pulmonary
veins and mitral valve has been reported to detect the presence of elevated left ventricular …

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

The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of intraventricular dispersion of the peak
diastolic flow velocity as a marker of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with atrial …
