Abstract

|
|
Background :
@EN Noninvasive attemps to identify left ventricular relaxation have been hampered because relaxation rate, left atrial filling pressure, and chamber compliance are the major determinants of peak early velocity and filling rate. This study was
performed
to evaluate the relation between the velocity of flow propagation an left ventricular relaxation by using pulsed doppler echocardiography to analize flow propagation in the left ventricle.
@ES Method :
@EN By using pulsed Doppler echocardiography, the velocity of left ventricular flow propagation was measured from the distance and the distance and time difference of flow wave along the long axis propagation of left ventricular inflow during
early
filling in normal subjects (n=30), and M-mode echocardiographic data were obtained to evaluate mitral annulus long axis movement (mitral annulus relaxation rate) which represents left ventricular relaxation.
@ES Results :
@EN the peak early velocity was not related to mitral annulus relaxation rate, but, the velocity of flow propagation was related to mitral annulus relaxarate (P<0.05) in normal subjects.
@ES Conclusion :
@EN the velocity of flow propagation during early filling seems to be highly dependent on the mitral annulus relaxation rate and could be an important noninvasive tool in studying diastolic function.
