Abstract
The relationships of age, heart rate, body build and, in particular, of arterial blood pressure and left ventricular mass to several Doppler indexes of diastolic function were evaluated in a series of 80 subjects with a wide range of blood pressure levels (106-217/68—144 mmHg). Body build and age results were inversely correlated to the indexes, reflecting the early contribution to left ventricular filling, whereas the increase in heart rate was associated with an increase in late diastolic contribution. Strong correlations (in most instances, PKeywords
