Key result
Intraventricular pressure gradients play an important role in ventricular filling and emptying, and can be assessed non-invasively using Doppler echocardiography to evaluate left ventricular function.
Non-invasive assessment of intraventricular pressure gradients using Doppler echocardiography offers a potential clinical tool for evaluating complex ventricular filling and diastolic function without catheterization.

May aid noninvasive LV assessment in research settings; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Guerra et al. (2011) conducted a review in Left ventricular function and intraventricular pressure gradients. Doppler echocardiography for IVPG assessment was evaluated. Intraventricular pressure gradients play an important role in ventricular filling and emptying, and can be assessed non-invasively using Doppler echocardiography to evaluate left ventricular function.
