You are now watching: Diastolic Function — A Simple Echo Approach

In this video, we will teach you 5 simple rules that help you to assess diastolic function. Diastolic function is a complex issue with a complex physiology behind it. It is not possible to directly visualize the relaxation of the ventricle. Every experienced echocardiographer can eyeball systolic left ventricular function. However for diastolic function, this approach is not possible. Using our 5 simple rules, everyone of you will be able to assess diastolic function like a pro. Echocardiography can help us determine diastolic function better than any other method. At the end of this video, Tommy will give us some hints on how to assess diastolic function in a patient demo.
