Journal ArticleDOI

Doppler-Derived Myocardial Systolic Strain Rate Is a Strong Index of Left Ventricular Contractility

TL;DR: TDE-derived &egr;′p and &egR;′m are strong noninvasive indices of LV contractility, and appear to be more reliable than Sm by eliminating translational artifact.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differentiation of Constrictive Pericarditis From Restrictive Cardiomyopathy: Assessment of Left Ventricular Diastolic Velocities in Longitudinal Axis by Doppler Tissue Imaging

TL;DR: The measurement of longitudinal axis expansion velocities provides a clinically useful distinction between constrictive pericarditis and restrictive cardiomyopathy and may prove to be valuable in the study of diastolic function.
Journal ArticleDOI

An index of early left ventricular filling that combined with pulsed Doppler peak E velocity may estimate capillary wedge pressure

TL;DR: The ratio of component velocity (E) over the color M-mode propagation velocity during early LV filling, by correcting for the effect of LV relaxation, provides a better estimate of pw than standard measurements of transmitral Doppler flow.
