Why the study?
Because limits of agreement between LVEF and AVPD indicate they are not interchangeable, it remains questionable whether AVPD provides the same information as LVEF in left ventricular failure.
Does atrioventricular plane displacement (AVPD) correlate with LVEF and clinical findings in patients with left ventricular failure?

May complement LVEF assessment in LV failure; hypothesis-generating pending prospective validation.
Does atrioventricular plane displacement (AVPD) correlate with LVEF and clinical findings in patients with left ventricular failure?
Atrioventricular plane displacement measured by M-mode echocardiography strongly correlates with LVEF and pro-BNP in patients with left ventricular failure.
