[Contemporary approaches to echocardiographic assessment of left heart ventricle diastolic function].
Recommendations on echocardiographic diagnosis of diastolic function of the left ventricle of the heart are analyzed in this paper. Possibilities of echocardiography for early detection of disturbances of left ventricular relaxation and of pronounced derangements of diastolic function are shown. Difficulties of diagnostics of intermediate stages of diastolic dysfunction as well as ways of their solution are also considered. Together with presently existing methods of evaluation of severity of diastolic dysfunction which are based on assessment of transmitral blood flow a row of other Dopplerographic parameters are presented. Differential approach to assessment of diastolic function of the heart in dependence of the state of cardiac pump function is discussed. Prognostic value of abnormalities of diastole is presented too.
