Figure 1 Mitral inflow patterns provide prognostic information incremental to that of peak ;-4uO2. The outcome was significantly poorer in the presence of restrictive filling patterns than in their absence, both in patients with peak ;-4uO2 14 ml/min per kg (upper panel) and in patients with peak ;-4uO2 >14 ml/min per kg (lower panel).
