We have shown for the first time that M-mode interrogation of the MA longitudinal motion appears useful to assess atrio-ventricular interactions. Since LV systolic and diastolic functions are so closely related; additional studies are now required to examine how this longitudinal measure correlates with known circumferential rotational data obtained with other imaging modalities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
