Why the study?
Do changes in loading conditions influence pulsed Doppler indices of left ventricular ejection dynamics in patients?
Do changes in loading conditions influence pulsed Doppler indices of left ventricular ejection dynamics in patients?
Pulsed Doppler indices of left ventricular ejection dynamics are significantly modified by mild changes in loading conditions, which must be accounted for when evaluating inotropic state.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Loading conditions must be considered when interpreting Doppler LV ejection indices; leaves open validation in larger prospective studies.
Lu et al. (1994) studied this question.
