Abbreviations: TMF, transmitral flow; E, early filling peak velocity; A, atrial contraction peak velocity; DT, deceleration time of E wave; IVRT, isovolumic relaxation time; PV-S, peak velocity of systolic component; PV-D, peak velocity of diastolic component; PV-AR, peak velocity of atrial reversal flow; PV-ARdur, duration of atrial reversal flow; Adur, duration of A wave; PVF, pulmonary venous flow; E', early diastolic velocity of the mitral annulus by tissue Doppler imaging; Vp, propagation velocity.

ALGORITHM FOR GRADING DIASTOLIC DYSFUNCTION

FIGURE

(A) Algorithm for diagnosis of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction. LV diastolic function is normal if more than half of the available parameters do not meet the cutoff values for identifying abnormal function. LV diastolic dysfunction is present if more than half of the available parameters meet these cutoff values. The study is inconclusive if half of the parameters do not meet the cutoff values (B) Algorithm for estimation of LV filling pressures and grading LV diastolic function in patients with diastolic dysfunction.
