چکیده
Background In the intact circulation, changes in intrathoracic pressure and/or lung volume will simultaneously induce alterations in cardiac volumes, output, and contractility among other alterations [1]. In this study, we evaluate the impact of respiratory suspension on the computation of volume-based early peak filling rate (EPFR) to late peak filling rate (LPFR) ratio using peak velocitybased Doppler echo measured early peak velocity (E) to peak velocity during atrial contraction (A) measured at the tip of the mitral leaflets as the reference.

Doppler assessment of right ventricular filling in a normal population. Comparison with left ventricular filling dynamics.
To examine whether alterations in right ventricular filling dynamics occur with increasing age and to compare right and left ventricular filling in normal subjects, pulsed Doppler echocardiographic studies were performed at the tricuspid and mitral anuli in 50 normal volunteers (23 males and 27 females) with an age range of 5-66 years. An age-related decrease in peak early filling velocity, inc...

The noninvasive measurement of left ventricular filling has relied predominantly on radionuclide-derived peak filling rate normalized to end-diastolic volume. Doppler echocardiography also has the ability to measure peak filling rate, but wide application of this technique has been limited by technical errors involved in quantitative echocardiographic determination of mitral anulus cross-sectio...

BACKGROUND Diastolic filling at rest is altered markedly with advancing age. Whether exercise training can improve diastolic filling at rest or during exercise in either healthy older or healthy young men has not been determined. The purpose of this study was to determine if 6 months of aerobic exercise training improves diastolic filling. METHODS AND RESULTS Radionuclide diastolic filling pa...

To determine the relationship between Doppler-derived flow velocity through the mitral anulus and angiographic parameters of left ventricular filling, 30 patients were studied by two-dimensional echocardiography combined with pulsed Doppler echocardiography followed within 1 hr by left ventricular angiography. The average heart rate for each test was 69 beats/min. Doppler-derived parameters inc...
