Abstract
Early Doppler echocardiographic indices of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function have studied the mechanics of left atrial and ventricular filling. These filling indices have been proven to be useful, providing prognostic information in heart failure patients. Tissue Doppler imaging allowed the diagnostician to incorporate a quantitative assessment of myocardial information, although limited by angle dependency. More recently, two-dimensional (2-D) and three-dimensional (3-D) speckle tracking overcame these limitations. In this chapter, we will review the role of tissue Doppler, 2-D and 3-D speckle tracking echocardiography (STE), and their derivatives for the assessment of LV diastolic function and its application in patients with known or suspected heart failure.
