Figure 2 Scatterplot of the correlation between deceleration time of the diastolic wave of pulmonary venous flow (DTD) and mean left atrial pressure (PLA). Data are plotted for group 1 combined with group 2. The horizontal dashed line indicates a DTD of 175 ms, which predicted a PLA of >17 mm Hg, with 100% sensitivity and 98% specificity.
