Myocardial Velocities as Markers of Diastolic Function

Diastolic Heart Failure

Abstract

Cardiac diastolic dysfunction caused by ventricular abnormalities in relaxation, increased stiffness, or a combination of both is an important cause of morbidity in patients with heart disease. A direct evaluation of diastolic function requires invasive simultaneous high-fidelity measurements of left ventricular (LV) pressures and volumes. This experimental and physiologic standard is rarely feasible in a clinical setting as it requires cardiac catheterization with specialized measurements and is thus poorly suited for repetitive assessment or screening purposes. Therefore, in clinical practice, noninvasive methods, such as echocardiography and, recently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are principal tools for the assessment of global and local myocardial function.
