In many cardiac conditions, Doppler of transmitral flow has been showed to be related to left ventricular filling pressure, but several factors may limit its practical value in estimating pulmonary wedge pressure in patients with chronic heart failure. Pulmonary venous velocities directly depend on the oscillations of left atrial pressure. Recent studies suggest that transthoracic Doppler of pulmonary venous flow provides a more accurate estimation of pulmonary wedge pressure. However the relative values of transmitral and pulmonary venous flow for assessing pulmonary wedge pressure in patients with chronic heart failure have not been fully classified until now. Accordingly, we performed this study to assess the feasibility of transthoracic Doppler of pulmonary venous flow in patients with chronic heart failure and to evaluate whether it provides additional information regarding pulmonary wedge pressure when compared with Doppler indices of transmitral flow.
