In 2003, pulmonary venous flow (PVF) evaluation by Doppler echocardiography is being
used daily in clinical practice. Twelve years ago, we reviewed the potential uses of PVF in …

To examine changes in left atrial appendage flow velocity patterns in relation to left atrial
pressures during sinus rhythm, transesophageal echocardiography and cardiac …

Transesophageal pulsed Doppler echocardiography was performed to examine changes
with age in the left atrial appendage flow velocity patterns in 50 normal subjects (15 to 80 …

We investigated temporary changes in left atrial appendage (LAA) flow velocity patterns in
patients undergoing electrical cardioversion for chronic isolated atrial fibrillation, and …

The performance of the left ventricle (LV) during diastole is defined by the pressure-volume
relationship. Consequently, noninvasive techniques have been limited in the evaluation of …

To examine the recovery time of left atrial mechanical function after electrical cardioversion
of atrial fibrillation, we recorded transmitral flow, pulmonary venous flow velocities, and …

Abstract Changes in transmitral flow (TMF) and pulmonary venous flow (PVF) velocities
during increases in preload were compared in patients with a higher peak atrial systolic …

Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HC) is characterized by impaired left ventricular
(LV) diastolic function due to an increase in LV wall thickness. The severity of this disease …

BACKGROUND:: A large V wave in a pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) tracing
is characteristic of mitral regurgitation. However, the V wave is often increased in patients …

In conclusion, the aforementioned results suggest that LY inflow and pulmonary venous flow
velocities during preload alteration in HC provide important information on the mechanism of …
