Background-Recent studies validated the measurement of left ventricular (LV) untwisting rate (UR) by speckle tracking echocardiography. A few reports suggest that it may provide additional noninvasive insight into LV diastolic function.Methods and Results-Simultaneous echocardiographic imaging and LV pressure measurements (7F Millar catheters) were performed in 8 adult dogs. Loading conditions were altered by caval occlusion, whereas lusitropic state was changed by dobutamine and esmolol infusion. Inferior vena cava occlusion at all experimental stages (baseline, dobutamine, esmolol) led to a significant decrease (P
