This study applies pulsed wave Doppler tissue imaging and colour Doppler tissue imaging to study changes in atrial function with ageing. We tested the following hypotheses: (1) pulsed wave Doppler tissue imaging can detect global changes of left atrial function associated with ageing similar to standard echocardiographic methods, (2) colour Doppler tissue imaging can reproducibly detect regional changes in atrial function (wall motion) of the normal young and normal aging atrium.
