Left atrioventricular plane displacement is proposed to reflect left ventricular systolic function and is strongly related to prognosis in patients with heart failure. Left atrioventricular plane displacement is a different measure of left ventricular function compared to ejection fraction, and the factors influencing left atrioventricular plane displacement are insufficiently characterized. We wanted to assess any relationship between left atrioventricular plane displacement and left ventricular diastolic performance.
