Abstract
Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is common in patients with heart failure. Echocardiographic evaluation of diastolic function provides the clinician with important information about ventricular relaxation and estimation of filling pressures. Optimal evaluation includes the integration of multiple echocardiographic parameters such as Doppler, M-mode, and volumes. This article aims to review the components of diastolic filling and ventricular performance, as well as discuss the techniques used for the assessment of left ventricular diastolic function.
