Abstract
The influence of menopause on Doppler indexes of left ventricular (LV) filling was investigated in 121 women aged 50 years. Peak velocity of early filling (E) and early-to-atrial peak velocity ratio (EIA) were higher in premenopausal women, indicating that menopause influences LV filling, with impaired LV filling in postmenopausal women.
