Echocardiographic Demonstration of the Effect of Varying Paced A-V Intervals on Ventricular Filling Pattern
Impaired relaxation of the left ventricle (LV) (diastolic dysfunction) invariably is associated with LV systolic dysfunction.1 Atrial contribution to ventricular filling (second filling phase of diastole) is pivotal in the presence of impaired relaxation where early filling is reduced. Cardiac Resy...
