In idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC), an impaired left ventricular filling as assessed by
the Doppler echocardiographic mitral flow pattem is closely related to the severity of …

The relation of left ventricular (LV) diastolic filling with the clinical outcome in patients with
idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC) was examined. LV diastolic filling was assessed by …

To determine the prognostic significance of pulsed wave Doppler-derived left ventricular
diastolic filling velocity profiles and the relationship between Doppler variables and clinial …

The assessment of left ventricular diastolic function by Doppler echocardiography shows
both a nonrestrictive and restrictive type of filling in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. These …

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is an integral component of end-stage dilated
cardiomyopathy. To better characterize this disorder we studied 15 patients undergoing …

In order to evaluate the prognostic implications of either transmitral filling parameters and
pulmonary artery capillary pressure, 35 patients (23 men, age 63+/-13 years,+/-SD) with …

Objectives. This study was undertaken to evaluate the frequency of restrictive left ventricular
filling pattern in dilated cardiomyopathy, as well as its clinical and hemodynamic correlations …

This study attempted to examine the relation of left ventricular filling patterns to
hemodynamic status and left atrial function in dilated cardiomyopathy. Transesophageal …

Patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DC) have been reported to have abnormal left
ventricular (LV) diastolic properties. To evaluate LV diastolic filling characteristics in patients …

The role of impaired diastolic function in determining the pathophysiology of congestive
cardiomyopathy was only recently appreciated. In the present study, echocardiography and …
