Does regional myocardial long axis velocity in diastole measured by magnetic resonance correlate with left ventricular filling measured by Doppler echocardiography in patients with coronary artery disease?
Early diastolic long axis myocardial velocity measured by magnetic resonance correlates significantly with left ventricular filling parameters measured by Doppler echocardiography.
Karwatowski et al. (1996) studied this question.
