Figure 1 Measurement of myocardial peak systolic velocity (Sm) and myocardial peak early diastolic velocity (Em) at rest (left; heart rate 69 beats/min) and at peak (right; heart rate 128 beats/min) in a 69-year-old diabetic patient. The Sm at the basal part of the lateral wall at rest and peak were 5.8 and 12.4 cm/s, respectively. The Em at the basal part of the lateral wall at rest and peak were 3.8 and 8.5 cm/s, respectively.
