Comparison between maximal early diastolic velocity in long-axis direction obtained by M-mode echocardiography and by tissue Doppler in the assessment of right ventricular diastolic function

Summary Recently the maximal early diastolic velocity in long‐axis direction of the right ventricle (RV) obtained by tissue Doppler imaging (MDV TDI) has been introduced in the assessment of RV diastolic function (RVDF). There are reasons to think that also the maximal early diastolic velocity in lo...

Description
Summary:Summary Recently the maximal early diastolic velocity in long‐axis direction of the right ventricle (RV) obtained by tissue Doppler imaging (MDV TDI) has been introduced in the assessment of RV diastolic function (RVDF). There are reasons to think that also the maximal early diastolic velocity in long‐axis direction of the RV obtained using M‐mode echocardiography (MDV TAM) could be used to assess RVDF. Therefore, 29 patients were examined with echocardiography and MDV TAM and MDV TDI were measured and compared. A good correlation (r = 0·76, P
