Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the incremental value of sophisticated evaluation of leftventricular filling pressure for determining systolo-diastolic interactions. Methods: 51 patients underwent echography to evaluate systolic (ejection fraction (EF)), and diastolic functions (mitral Doppler for E/A, deceleration time(DT), E wave flow propagation velocity (Vp), early diastolic velocity of lateral mitral annulus (Ea)) and BNP. Results: Significant increases of BNP between the 3 tertiles for E/Vp(p
