Why the study?
Do tissue Doppler imaging and color M-mode flow propagation improve the assessment of left ventricular diastolic function compared to standard pulsed Doppler echocardiography?
Do tissue Doppler imaging and color M-mode flow propagation improve the assessment of left ventricular diastolic function compared to standard pulsed Doppler echocardiography?
TDI and color M-mode flow propagation provide relatively load-independent measures of left ventricular diastolic function, complementing traditional pulsed Doppler techniques.

May aid diastolic assessment amid variable loading; leaves open prospective outcome trials before practice change.
