Possible Mechanisms Underlying Aging-Related Changes in Early Diastolic Filling and Long Axis Motion-Left Ventricular Length and Blood Pressure

The transmitral E wave and the peak velocity of early diastolic mitral annular motion (e`) both decrease with age, but the mechanisms underlying these age-related changes are incompletely understood. This study investigated the possible contributions of blood pressure (BP) and left ventricular end-d...

Zusammenfassung:The transmitral E wave and the peak velocity of early diastolic mitral annular motion (e`) both decrease with age, but the mechanisms underlying these age-related changes are incompletely understood. This study investigated the possible contributions of blood pressure (BP) and left ventricular end-diastolic length (LVEDL) to age-related reductions in E and e`. The study group were 82 healthy adult subjects
