Figure 3 Transmitral flow velocity patterns (top) and MVG curves (bottom) obtained at rest and during passive leg lifting in a representative case of hypertensive heart disease. E significantly increased and E/A apparently normalized, thus transmitral flow velocity pattern changing from an abnormal relaxation pattern to a near normal pattern by leg lifting. In contrast, peak negative MVG was not significantly altered by the maneuver.
