| Abstract: | This study was performed to evaluate left ventricular (LV) diastolic function in patients with Ebstein's anomaly using Doppler echocardiography. We found that LV abnormal relaxation in this anomaly cannot be explained by right ventricular volume overload alone. Furthermore, LV diastolic dysfunction persists even after intracardiac repair. |
