Key result
Propagation velocity measured by color M-mode Doppler was lower in patients with coronary artery disease compared to normal controls (32.8 vs 63.6 cm/sec; p>0.01).
Why the study?
Is propagation velocity (Vp) measured by color M-mode Doppler echocardiography a useful index for evaluating left ventricular diastolic function in patients with coronary artery disease?
Observational (n=75)
Is propagation velocity (Vp) measured by color M-mode Doppler echocardiography a useful index for evaluating left ventricular diastolic function in patients with coronary artery disease?
Absolute Event Rate: 32.8% vs 63.6%
p-value: p=> 0.01
Propagation velocity measured by color M-mode Doppler is a useful surrogate index for evaluating left ventricular diastolic function in patients with coronary artery disease.

Jeon et al. (2000) conducted an observational in Coronary Artery Disease (n=75). Coronary artery disease vs. Normal subjects was evaluated on Propagation velocity (Vp) of early flow into left ventricular cavity (p=> 0.01). Propagation velocity measured by color M-mode Doppler was lower in patients with coronary artery disease compared to normal controls (32.8 vs 63.6 cm/sec; p>0.01).
