Noninvasive assessment of cardiac function by Doppler echocardiography is reviewed. The heart propels the blood through the repeated sequence of systole and diastole. The systolic function is essential to maintain the biological function of the whole body. However, before the heart ejects the blood during systole, the heart must be filled up with blood during the preceding diastole. Thus, the diastolic function is as important as the systolic function. Although the diastolic function is traditionally assessed by hemodynamic parameters obtained in the cardiac catheterization laboratory, it has routinely been assessed by Doppler echocardiography in the echocardiographic laboratory in recent years. Since the concept of diastolic failure has widely spread, the important role of the transmitral flow in assessing the diastolic function has been well recognized. Besides the transmitral flow, the modalities for clinical assessment of the left ventricular diastolic function have been well developed. For example, the pulmonary venous flow has been easily obtained by a transthoracic approach, and the tissue Doppler technique provides important information about the diastolic function, and furthermore the color M-mode is applied for the flow propagation velocity of the left ventricular inflow. These modalities make it possible to assess the left ventricular diastolic function more precisely by Doppler echocardiography. Also, TEI index, strain rate and strain imaging, and wave intensity are mentioned.
