Preliminary clinical study of real-time three-dimensional echocardiographic volume-time curve in evaluating left ventricular diastolic function / 华中科技大学学报（医学）（英德文版）

ABSTRACT

The volume-time curve change in patients with normal left ventricular (LV) diastolic function and diastolic dysfunction was evaluated by real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE). LV diastolic dysfunction was defined by E'0.05). It is concluded that PFR, as a diastolic filling index of RT3DE, can reflect the early diastolic function and serve as a new non-invasive, quick and accurate tool for clinical assessment of LV diastolic function.
