From: 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

Figure 6

Mitral flow patterns. A: Normal pattern. B: Prolonged deceleration time, but near normal E velocity and E/A ratio. C: Delayed relaxation with severely prolonged deceleration time, reduced E velocity and E/A ratio. Both in A and C, the flow propagation velocity may match strain rate propagation velocity, if the relation E/PVSe holds true.
