Supports AWEDV as a potential marker of aortic-LV interaction; leaves open clinical utility without prospective validation.
Does aortic upper wall tissue Doppler imaging velocity correlate with aortic elasticity and left ventricular diastolic function?
Aortic upper wall early diastolic velocity measured by tissue Doppler imaging correlates with aortic stiffness and LV diastolic dysfunction, offering a potential non-invasive tool for evaluating these parameters.
Suh et al. (2009) studied this question.
