Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is currently recognized in patients with different heart diseases. Three abnormal filling patterns of the left ventricle detected by pulsed-Doppler echocardiography are observed in patients with heart disease. Each filling pattern is characterised by different symptoms, and by differences in function and dimension of the left atrium and filling pressures. Mitral and pulmonary venous flow velocities and durations obtained by pulsed Doppler technique can be used to evaluate left ventricular diastolic function in patients with different heart diseases. However, several factors affect the transmitral and pulmonary venous flow such as age, heart rate, positioning of the sample volume and aortic- and mitral valve insufficiency. These factors must be taken into consideration when the diastolic function is evaluated by pulsed Doppler technique.
