Key result
Doppler echocardiography reveals a continuum of diastolic function patterns evolving with disease, treatment, and loading conditions.
Why the study?
Doppler assessment of diastolic function is standard in echocardiography and imparts information relevant to management and prognosis, prompting this review of Doppler patterns relative to physical signs and physiology.

May guide standardized Doppler assessment of diastolic function; leaves open prospective validation of clinical outcomes.
Cohen et al. (1996) conducted a review in Ventricular diastolic function. Doppler echocardiography was evaluated. Doppler echocardiography provides a continuum of patterns for assessing ventricular diastolic function that evolve with disease progression, treatment, and loading conditions.
