[Comparative study of digitalized M-mode and Doppler echocardiography in assessing left ventricular function].
The systolic and diastolic functions were examined using digitized M-mode and Doppler echocardiography in 27 patients with previous myocardial infarction and in 20 healthy subjects. Both methods separated well the patients from the control group but their difference was significantly greater when the ventricular function was assessed with Doppler parametres, digitized M-mode and Doppler echocardiographical results were controlled for possible correlations, but only time intervals showed significant correlations. The highest correlation was found between the values for isovolumic relaxation period. The authors conclude that Doppler echocardiography is to be preferred as a method for assessing the systolic and diastolic functions of the left ventricle.
