Towards noninvasive cardiac catheterisation

Background: Doppler echocardiographic measures of diastolic function, such as E/e ’ are correlates of left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic pressure (ped) and diastolic compliance (Cd) [1]. We developed a noninvasive computational approach to obtain these essential markers of LV diastolic abnormalities and tested it against the invasive gold standard.
