Doppler evaluation of normalized peak filling rate in early neonatal period.
In conclusion, the NPFR value did not change during the early neonatal period. The fact that this index does not change suggests that it might be useful as a parameter for diastolic filling, assuming that there is no significant diastolic filling change in the left ventricle over this time frame.
