Improved monitoring of myocardial ischaemia during major vascular surgery using transoesophageal echocardiography.

abstract：AIMS:Diastolic dysfunction in acute myocardial infarction (MI) is associated with adverse outcome. Recently, the ratio of early mitral inflow velocity (E) to global diastolic strain rate (e'sr) has been proposed as a marker of elevated LV filling pressure. However, the prognostic value of this measure has not been demo...
