| Popis: | Background and hypothesis: The purpose of this study was the comprehensive evaluation of the changes in pulmonary venous and mitral flow velocities of patients with acute and chronic severe aortic regurgitation. Transmitral flow velocities obtained with pulsed‐wave Doppler echocardiography have been used to provide information on left ventricular (LV) filling and diastolic function. Pulmonary venous flow tracings are an important adjunct to LV inflow pattern in assessing LV diastolic function. Methods: Fourteen patients with severe aortic regurgitation (8 chronic and 6 acute) and in sinus rhythm were examined by transthoracic and transesophageal pulsed Doppler echocardiography. Mitral and pulmonary flow velocities were recorded and compared. All patients had ejection fractions > 40%. Results: Early mitral flow peak velocity was higher in patients with acute regurgitation (p1 (p< 0.001) and an E/A 1). |
