A:
Peak A wave (atrial systole in late diastole) velocity of transmitral
flow; E: peak E wave (aarly diastolic) velocity of transmitral flow;
Edec: E wave deceleration slope and time (red arrow).
White arrro points at "blurry" deceleration slope of
velocity-time pattern on the left. E wave deceleration time is
better measured on the flow pattern on the right. |
| Comments |
In
this normal, relatively young (< 48 y.) subject, the E wave predominates the normal
transmitral flow pattern. |

| Comments |
In
this normal, relatively young (< 48 y.) subject, the diastolic
velocity-time integral (D) predominates the right upper pulmonary venous flow pattern. |
