Pulsed Doppler myocardial imaging (DMI) is a new technique that makes it possible to obtain an on-line quantitative assessment of wall motion in different myocardial segments through sample-volume placement. Therefore, this tool is suitable for identifying changes in regional diastolic function in uncomplicated arterial hypertension. In this study, we examined standard Doppler-derived indexes of global left ventricular diastolic function and regional diastolic parameters obtained by pulse-wave DMI in a population of hypertensive patients, comparing them with the indexes found in a control group of normotensive subjects.

Abstract
Pulsed Doppler myocardial imaging (DMI) is a new technique that makes it possible to obtain an on-line quantitative assessment of wall motion in different myocardial segments through sample-volume placement. Therefore, this tool is suitable for identifying changes in regional diastolic function in uncomplicated arterial hypertension. In this study, we examined standard Doppler-derived indexes of global left ventricular diastolic function and regional diastolic parameters obtained by pulse-wave DMI in a population of hypertensive patients, comparing them with the indexes found in a control group of normotensive subjects.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
