Correlation Between Transmitral Early and Late Diastolic Velocities Ratio and Ratio of Medial Mitral Annular Early and Late Tissue Doppler Velocities

Abstract

Diastolic dysfunction is an early sign of the heart disease.Detecting diastolic disturbances is predicted to be the way for early recognizing underlying heart disease.Tissue Doppler imaging(TDI) parameters has shown to be a sensitive marker to detect progressive deterioration of cardiac function in various cardiac conditions. The aim of this research was to calculate e’/a’ of medial annulus in patients with mild diastolic dysfunction and determine their diagnostic value.
