Purpose : Doppler echocardiography provides a noninvasive technique for the evaluation of left ventricular diastolic function. This study was performed to define the normal pattern of left ventricular diastolic filling by real-time Doppler flow mapping, and to determine how this pattern changes with aging in normal children. Methods : The changes in diastolic function in 89 normal subjects less than 15...
