Figure 1 Patient with restrictive filling at rest that became non-restrictive at peak stress. Isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT) and E-wave deceleration times lengthened, E:A ratio fell, and right ventricular (RV) long-axis amplitude increased with stress. ECG = electrocardiogram; PCG = phonocardiogram.
