    Abstract:
    Preoperative evaluation of the both right ventricular (RV) systolic and diastolic function using the pulsed Doppler echocardiogram were examined for 46 patients scheduled for the pulmonary resection of the pulmonary tumorous lesions. The parameters which included the RV inflow pattern at the tricuspid orifice and the RV ejection flow pattern at the RV outflow tract were obtained by the pulsed Doppler echocardiogram. Following results were obtained. 1) The RV afterload shown by the parameters of the acceleration time (AT, time beginning of RV ejection to peak velocity) were higher in the aged patients, the low FEV 1% populations, and the patients having the deteriorated left ventricular contraction. 2) The RV diastolic dysfunction were present preoperatively in aged patients over the 60 years old. This phenomenon was characterized by a high degree of atrial contraction and an increased ratio of the peak velocity in atrial contraction phase to that in early rapid filling phase (A/E). When we evaluate the RV inflow and ejection Doppler flow patterns after the major lung resection, these findings must be considerable thing.
