 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 5 Doppler tissue imaging in patients with congestive heart failure evaluation of left ventricular function [Key Words] Doppler 1 Materials and Methods 1.1 The subjects were divided into heart failure and control groups: (1 heart failure: 55 patients, diagnosed the following conditions: the New York Heart functional class: ~ grade, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF lt;40% , no other serious comorbidities. (2 control groups: 25 healthy, gender, age and heart failure group match. 1.2 Conventional methods section for the standard apical four-chamber and apical two-chamber section, measured with Doppler tissue imaging of left ventricular septal, lateral, inferior and anterior mitral annulus corresponding velocity, were recorded peak systolic velocity, early diastolic and late diastolic peak velocity, and the average value. In the two-dimensional echocardiography of left ventricular long axis view, and with the M-mode ultrasound technique measured the left ventricular EF values. Statistics and Analysis 1.3 statistical software application SPSS10.0 finishing the measurement data to x +-s, said the number between the two groups were compared using t test, linear correlation analysis method is used to test the correlation between two sets of numbers. 2 Results 2.1 General information on heart failure in patients with male 35 cases, 20 women, mean age (58 + -13.1 years). Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 15% 40% (median 29%). The control group of men 15 patients, 10 females, mean age (56 + -11.5). left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 66% to 80% (median 71%). 2.2 compared with the control group of heart failure, chronic congestive heart failure in patients with mitral annular peak systolic velocity and early diastolic peak velocity were significantly decreased, P lt;0.001. Table 1. Left ventricle in patients with chronic congestive heart failure ejection fraction (EF significantly decreased (29%. mi
