May warrant diastolic assessment in aortic valve disease; supports hypertrophy extent as primary driver of impaired relaxation in observational data.
In patients with left ventricular hypertrophy secondary to aortic valve disease, the speed of left-heart relaxation is impaired and appears to be determined by the extent of hypertrophy rather than systolic dysfunction.
Eichhorn et al. (1982) studied this question.
