## Abstract A rapid, non-invasive method for the measurement of obsolute amounts of fat, protein, minerals and water in the body has been developed which is applicable to very ill patients. The patients is weighed and skinfold thickness is measured with calipers. The body contents of potassium, nit
Aim. The assessment of diastolic function remains difficult in critical care patients because of unstable preload conditions. Described as fairly insensitive to preload changes, tissue Doppler velocity measurement at the lateral mitral annulus (e 0 lat ) may help evaluate diastolic function. Our aim
