2 None Disclosures

3 Learning Objectives Review the ASE/EAE Guidelines & Standards for the assessment of DF Discuss normal and abnormal filling pressures List measurements Discuss technical tips Discuss caveats, pitfalls, limitations of Doppler measurements Review key points on what and how to measure DF

4 Why Assess Diastolic Function? Treatment Purpose Stage 1: Abnormal relaxation (low E velocity, but no evidenced increase pressures) - ß-Blockers Heart rate control during exercise - Calcium channel blockers - ACE inhibitors Regression of LVH, afterload reduction Stage 2: Pseudonormal (low E velocity, with evidenced of increased pressures) - Above + diuretics/nitrates Achieve preload & afterload reduction Stage 3: Restrictive filling (low E velocity, with evidenced of highly elevated pressures) - Diuretics Preload reduction - ACE inhibitors Preload & afterload reduction, survival benefit - Nitrates Preload reduction - ß-Blockers LV remodeling, survival benefit - Digoxin (-CCBs? ß-B) Symptomatic improvement Information modified from: Naqvi TZ. Reviews in CV Medicine 2003;4:81-99.
