Abstract
Nearly half of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) have a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction, known as diastolic heart failure. Echocardiography is the primary modality for evaluating left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function in CHF patients. LV developed
pressure (dP/dt) is a classical index of myocardial contractility. At the same time, pulse wave velocity, which has been used as a measure of arterial stiffness, can be used as an index of LV contractile function. The maximal dP/dt of the radial pulse appears to be a good and reproducible criterion of LV systolic performance with high potential as a diagnostic method.
