European reference values for Doppler indices of left ventricular diastolic filling.
The European Study Group on diastolic heart failure requires objective evidence of abnormal left ventricular diastolic function to establish the diagnosis of diastolic heart failure, which is common in older people. Reference values for Doppler indices of transmitral flow, used to assess left ventricular diastolic function, have not been reported for people 70 years and over in Europe. The aim ...
متن کاملDoppler echocardiographic indices of left ventricular diastolic function
The influence of age on six Doppler echocardiographic indices of left ventricular diastolic function was assessed in 86 normal volunteers aged from 20 to 74 years (mean 36). Five of the six indices showed a linear relation with age. Duration of isovolumic relaxation and maximal late diastolic (atrial) flow velocity increased significantly with age (r = 0-34 and r = 0-69, respectively). Converse...
متن کاملMitral flow derived Doppler indices of left ventricular diastolic function.
AIMS Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction has been proposed as the basis of heart failure in patients with normal left ventricular systolic function. Doppler indices of mitral inflow have been widely used to diagnose this condition and have been shown to correlate well with increased left atrial pressure in patients with cardiovascular disease. We wanted to establish age-specific criteria for...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Diastolic Doppler Characteristics in
were young (age, 15.1±3.2 years) and 54 were adults (age, 25.1±3.6 years). The findings were compared with those obtained from 22 young (age, 13.8±2.4 years) and 24 adult (age, 25.3±4.1 years) normal individuals. In both groups of patients, peak flow velocities in eariy (E) and late (A) diastole were higher than in the control subjects (young E: P<.01; adult E: P<.001; young A.. P<.05; adult A ...
متن کاملPulsed Doppler assessment of left ventricular diastolic filling in children with left ventricular outflow obstruction before and after balloon angioplasty.
To assess left ventricular (LV) diastolic filling in children with pressure overload hypertrophy, 12 patients with LV outflow obstruction (7 with aortic valve stenosis and 5 with aortic coarctation) and 12 healthy, age-matched control subjects were examined. Each child underwent M-mode echocardiography and pulsed Doppler examination of the LV inflow. The patients with LV outflow obstruction had...
