摘要
Acoustic quantification (AQ) is a noninvasive technique which provides online left ventricular (LV) area/volume waveforms. The filling portion of the AQ waveform can be used to assess LV diastolic properties. Analysis of signal-averaged AQ curves enhances the waveforms and allows reliable, quantitative, and automated analysis. From signal-averaged AQ LV waveforms, the phases of diastole can be easily detected and several parameters of diastolic performance calculated. Analysis of signal-averaged LV waveforms is complementary to that of LVAQ analysis. AQ has been used to identify diastolic dysfunction, in patients with LV hypertrophy and systemic hypertension. Normal values of these parameters are age dependent and reference values will soon be available.
