Many factors influence diastolic function indexes obtained by monitoring left ventricular filling. Recent reports suggest that the study of myocardial wall velocity with Doppler tissue imaging (DTI) can give diastolic function parameters that are less affected by the same factors. An altered diastolic function has been demonstrated with invasive methods in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). The aims of this study were 1) to compare a group of healthy subjects with a group of patients with LVH and presumably affected by diastolic dysfunction, to try to demonstrate if DTI could give new indexes to discriminate between the two groups; 2) to compare the indexes obtained with DTI against the ones given by Doppler study of left ventricular filling in the two populations.
