Figure 1 Transesophageal pulsed-wave Doppler showing a biphasic slope of deceleration of the diastolic wave (D) of pulmonary venous flow. The deceleration time of the D wave is measured as the time interval between peak velocity and the upper deceleration slope extrapolated to zero. The deceleration time in this case is 223 ms.
