Background: Color M-mode (CMM) has been useful in characterizing left ventricular (LV) relaxation as well as providing information regarding right ventricular (RV) filling dynamics and pressure gradients. The spatiotemporal resolution of CMM offers a unique opportunity to study the effect of chronic pulmonary hypertension (cPH) on biventricular diastolic function.

Methods: Propagation velocities of LV and RV diastolic flows were obtained from 20 individuals with normal pulmonary artery systolic pressures, designated Group I (mean age 50 ± 12 years and 32 ± 6 mmHg) and from 30 patients with cPH, designated Group II (mean age 55 ± 14 years and 81 ± 25 mmHg).
