Does pulsed tissue Doppler of mitral annulus motion detect LV-diastolic dysfunction in patients with hypertension or aortic stenosis compared to normal subjects?
Pulsed tissue Doppler of mitral annulus motion provides a non-invasive method to assess LV diastolic function, demonstrating age-related changes and further reductions in velocity in patients with hypertension or aortic stenosis.
