Abstract:In this study we evaluated if two-dimensional Doppler (2DD)-derived peak filling rate (PFR) normalized
to stroke volume (SV) could provide a useful index of diastolic function that can be compared to PFR obtained
with radionuclide angiography (RNA). Forty-five patients, 22 with clinical evidence of healed myocardial infarction
(MI) and 23 of primary hypertension underwent 2DD and RNA study within 24 h. 2DD- and RNA-derived PFR
were normalized to end-diastolic volume (PFR-EDV) and to SV (PFR-SV): PFR determined… Show more
