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

Doppler echocardiographic indexes of ventricular inflow have been used clinically to
characterize left ventricular (LV) diastolic function. The reliability of these indexes as markers …

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 …

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

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 left ventricular diastolic filling pattern in congestive cardiomyopathy is heterogeneous
and may vary from a “rapid filling predominant pattern” to an “atrial filling predominant …

OBJECTIVES.: The purpose of this study was to examine the relation of the mitral flow
velocity curves to left ventricular filling pressures in patients with two different types of …

Left ventricular systolic function does not correlate well with functional class in patients with
dilated cardiomyopathy. To determine whether the correlation is better with Doppler indexes …

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 …

DOPPLER echocardiography is a new non invasive technique for assessing left ventricular
diastolic function. Its greatest advantage over cineangiography and radionuclide angio …
