Figure 5From: Flow propagation velocity is not a simple index of diastolic function in early filling. A comparative study of early diastolic strain rate and strain rate propagation, flow and flow propagation in normal and reduced diastolic function Scatterdiagram of values. A; strain rate propagation vs. flow propagation, showing the negative correlation. B; strain rate propagation vs. deceleration time. As strain rate propagation increases velocity filling time decreased. Bottom, ratio of peak early mitral flow velocity / strain rate propagation (E / PVSe) vs. flow propagation showing a positive correlation.Back to article page
