Understanding LV Filling Pressures in Atrial Fibrillation

  • Assessment of LV filling pressures in Atrial Fibrillation

    Peak acceleration rate of mitral E velocity (>1,900 cm/sec 2)
    IVRT (<65 msec)
    DT of pulmonary venous diastolic velocity (<220 msec)
    E/Vp ratio (>1.4)
    Septal E/e' ratio (>11)
