Use of Indices Combining Diastolic and Systolic Tissue Doppler Variables to Evaluate Right Ventricular Function in Dogs With Pulmonary Stenosis

Dogs with PS have RV myocardial dysfunction that can be measured with Ee's' and e'a's' indices, and these values can be used to monitor response to pulmonary intervention over time. These findings suggest that calculation of Ee's' and e'a's' indices might have clinical importance in long-term management of dogs with PS.
