Does pulsed Doppler echocardiography detect altered left ventricular diastolic filling dynamics during exercise in patients with coronary artery disease and normal systolic function compared to normal subjects?
Pulsed Doppler echocardiography can noninvasively detect exercise-induced impairments in left ventricular diastolic filling in patients with coronary artery disease despite normal resting systolic function.
Kuecherer et al. (1988) studied this question.
