LV filling pressures in Mitral Regurgitation

  • Assessment of LV filling pressures in Mitral Regurgitation

    Ar-A (>30 msec)
    IVRT (<60 msec has high specificity)
    IVRT/TE-e' (<5.6) may be applied for the prediction of LV filling pressures in patients with MR and normal EFs
    Average E/e' (>14) may be considered only in patients with depressed EFs
