Left Ventricular Diastolic Function in Effort Angina Pectoris

Diastolic function of the left ventricle is well known to be disturbed in patients with coronary artery disease [1,2]. There are few reports which analyzed left ventricular (LV) regional diastolic function using a left ventriculogram with simultaneous LV pressure. The purpose of this study was to analyze LV regional diastolic function in stable effort angina pectoris (AP) without myocardial infarction.
