ABSTRACT
This study was carried out on 45 patients to evaluate the accuracy of different echo-Doppler parameters for the assessment of LV diastolic function. The patients were divided according to end diastolic pressure [EDP] into two groups. Comparing patients with normal and elevated EDP revealed that the deceleration time of E wave, velocity time integrity [VTI] of E-wave, acceleration slope of A wave, deceleration slope of A wave LA diameter and FS were significant variables. When taking FS into consideration, the echo-Doppler parameters were significantly valuable in the differentiation between patients with normal and elevated EDP
