Figure 3 The effect of LV filling patterns on survival. Mortality was significantly higher in patients with impaired relaxation (p = 0.02), pseudonormal filling (p < 0.00005) or restrictive filling (p < 0.00005) than in patients with a normal filling pattern. Short-hatch/dotted line (top) = normal filling pattern; dotted line = impaired relaxation; long-hatch line = pseudonormal filling; solid line (bottom) = restrictive filling.
