We have investigated the possibility of detecting early abnormalities of left ventricular
function at the initial phase of ischemic cardiomyopathy. Sixteen normotensive patients with
coronary artery disease and normal left ventricular ejection fraction and 6 control patients
were studied by invasive hemodynamic techniques in combination with transmitral Doppler
flow or with echo-tissue Doppler imaging. The extent of the percentage of left ventricular
longitudinal shortening and the systolic peak velocity at echo-tissue Doppler were …
