Isovolumic acceleration measured by tissue Doppler echocardiography is preload independent in healthy subjects.
Background: Isovolumic acceleration (IVA) as assessed by Tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI) has been proposed as a measure of left ventricular (LV) contractility. IVA is believed to be less dependent on preload than previously proposed estimates. IVA has been measured at different locations, and studies h...
