To evaluate the determinants of left ventricular filling, left ventricular filling velocity was
measured by pulsed Doppler flowmetry during catheterization of the right and left sides of …

The present investigation was undertaken in 12 normal subjects to determine the magnitude
of technical and biologic variability of six previously validated Doppler indexes of diastolic …

Transmitral flow velocity pattern obtained by the pulsed Doppler technique reflects left
ventricular (LV) diastolic function, but an increase in left atrial pressure pseudonormalizes …

We evaluated diastolic filling patterns using Doppler echocardiography in 520 consecutive
patients referred to our laboratory for transthoracic echocardiograms retrospectively and …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the left atrial active contraction and relaxation in
patients with various myocardial diseases by analyzing pulmonary venous flow (PVF) and …

BACKGROUND: Early color M-mode Doppler flow propagation (Ep) through the left ventricle
(LV) has been proposed as a useful noninvasive index for assessing LV relaxation, whereas …

Abstract Changes in parameters of left ventricular (LV) diastolic filling flow obtained with
Doppler echocardiography during the lower body positive and negative pressure method …

Doppler mitral flow indexes and their relation to invasively measured hemodynamic diastolic
indexes were assessed in 13 patients with isolated aortic stenosis (AS), and compared to …

Background—Noninvasive assessment of diastolic filling by Doppler echocardiography
provides important information about left ventricular (LV) status in selected subsets of …

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 …
