Abstract
The clinical manifestations of congestive heart failure can be related to a low cardiac output and elevated ventricular filling pressures. In the past, the pathogenesis of heart failure has been attributed to abnormalities of systolic function. More recently, however, it has been demonstrated that abnormalities of diastolic function may play an important role in the production of these signs and symptoms (Dodek et al. 1972; Dougherty et al. 1984). Diastolic filling of the heart has been relatively difficult to study because of its inherent complexity, in part related to the multiplicity of interrelated factors that contribute to this aspect of cardiac function (Mirsky 1984).
