Background: Tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI) is a rapid inexpensive and noninvasive method for the assessment of both the systolic and the diastolic cardiac function, and it has proved to be a useful prognostic tool both in the general populationand among persons with known cardiovascular diseases.
Objective: To determine how myocardial velocity assessed by pulsed TDI is affected by different degrees...
