Myocardial ischemia results in altered left ventricular (LV) diastolic compliance, reflected by an abnormal mitral inflow pattern on Doppler echocardiography. To investigate the relationship of Doppler echocardiography and regional myocardial systolic function during dipyridamole infusion, we evaluated transmitral flow changes detected by pulsed Doppler technique during a high-dose dipyridamole echocardiography test (DET, two-dimensional echo monitoring with dipyridamole infusion, up to 0.84 mg/kg over 10 min). The DET response produced two groups: group 1 (34 patients) with negative DET, and group 2 (35 patients) with positive DET, defined as the development of a newly onset LV regional asynergy. The E/A values overlapped at baseline (1.07 +/- .32 vs .92 +/- .22; p = NS) but differed at peak changes (.92 +/- .26 vs. 75 +/- .25; p less than .01). Heart rate changes could not account for the observed Doppler changes, since the values of R-R interval were similar in the groups, both basally (.927 +/- .226 vs .867 +/- .143 s; p = NS) and at peak dipyridamole (.754 +/- .100 vs. 681 +/- .112; p = NS). Transient myocardial ischemia induced by dipyridamole administration is accompanied by changes in transmitral flow, which consist of an increase in the relative atrial contribution to LV filling, possibly owing to an acute impairment in LV relaxation.
