Grade I diastolic dysfunction and elevated left ventricular end‐diastolic pressure: Mitral Doppler inflow, pulmonary vein atrial reversal, and the M‐mode mitral B‐bump

Grade I diastolic dysfunction (DD) is generally associated with a normal mean left atrial pressure (LAP) and normal left ventricular end‐diastolic pressure (LVEDP). The first hemodynamic alteration seen in DD, however, is the development of an elevated LVEDP with a persistent normal LAP. This is man...

Description
Summary:Grade I diastolic dysfunction (DD) is generally associated with a normal mean left atrial pressure (LAP) and normal left ventricular end‐diastolic pressure (LVEDP). The first hemodynamic alteration seen in DD, however, is the development of an elevated LVEDP with a persistent normal LAP. This is manifested by echocardiography as a continued mitral pulsed wave (PW) E/A
