Regional relaxation was assessed in these eight regions using regional isovolumetric relaxation time (rIVRT) and early to late peak filling velocity ratio (rE\/A) derived from Doppler tissue imaging. Asynchrony of rIVRT was calculated. Doppler left ventricular filling indices were assessed using the isovolumetric relaxation time, the deceleration time of early diastolic filling (E-DT), and the E\/A ratio.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>There was a correlation between rWT and both rIVRT and rE\/A in the two types of heart disease (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.47, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001 for rIVRT; <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009\u22120.20, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05 for rE\/A; hypertensive heart disease:<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.21, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05 for rIVRT;<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009\u22120.30, p\u2009=\u20090.003 for rE\/A). The degree of left ventricular asymmetry was related to prolonged E-DT (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.50, p\u2009=\u20090.001) and increased asynchrony (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.42, p\u2009=\u20090.002) in all patients combined, but not within individual groups. Asynchrony itself was associated with decreased E\/A (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009\u22120.39, p\u2009=\u20090.01) and protracted E-DT (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.69, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001) and isovolumetric relaxation time (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.51, p\u2009=\u20090.001) in all patients.
