Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) is evolving as a useful echocardiographic tool for quantitative
assessment of left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function. Recent studies have …

Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) is a useful echocardiographic technique to evaluate global
and regional myocardial systolic as well as diastolic function. It can also be used to quantify …

Ventricular assist devices (VADs) are systems for mechanical circulatory support of the
patient with severe heart failure. Perioperative transesophageal echocardiography is a …

BACKGROUND: Previous work suggesting a better correlation of diastolic than systolic
function with exercise capacity in heart failure may reflect the relative insensitivity and load …

Objective Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) by face mask is an effective method
of treating severe cardiogenic pulmonary edema (CPE). However, to our knowledge, no …
