Influence of alteration in preload on the pattern of left ventricular diastolic filling as assessed by Doppler echocardiography in humans

Abstract

We examined the influence of alterations in preload on pulsed Doppler indexes of left ventricular diastolic function in 50 patients including 12 without cardiovascular disease, 29 with coronary artery disease, and nine with critical aortic stenosis. Micromanometer left ventricular pressure was recorded simultaneously with pulsed Doppler echocardiography of left ventricular inflow and M-mode echocardiography of left ventricular diameter. Chamber stiffness constants, kd and kv, were obtained from the diastolic pressure-diameter and pressure-volume relations, respectively. Relaxation was measured by the isovolumic relaxation time constants, TL and TD, derived from the exponential left ventricular pressure decay and maximum negative dP/dt. In 41 patients after nitroglycerin treatment, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure decreased from 18 +/- 5 to 13 +/- 4 mm Hg (p less than 0.001). The ratio of peak early to peak atrial filling velocities and time-velocity integral ratios decreased from 1.08 +/- 0.57 to 0.90 +/- 0.42 (p less than 0.001) and from 1.77 +/- 0.95 to 1.41 +/- 0.71 (p less than 0.001), respectively. The peak early filling velocity and time-velocity integral decreased from 56.1 +/- 15.7 to 49.9 +/- 14.5 cm/sec (p less...Continue Reading
