Objective: To examine the relation between longitudinal left ventricular function assessed by tissue Doppler imaging (TDi) and exercise capacity in heart failure. Subjects: 153 patients with chronic heart failure from left ventricular systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction, 45%) and 87 age and sex matched controls. Methods: Echocardiography was used to measure conventional indices of left ventricular systolic function. TDi was used to assess left and right ventricular longitudinal function by measuring mitral and lateral tricuspid annular velocities during the cardiac cycle. Velocities measured at each point were the systolic peak (Sm) and the diastolic troughs (Em and Am), corresponding to passive and active (atrial) left ventricular fill...
