Figure 1 Mitral inflow and pulse wave tissue Doppler (TD) of the mitral annulus before and after constriction of the circumflex coronary artery (Cx). Notice the reduced velocity of Ea and its delayed onset with respect to onset of mitral E after the intervention. A = transmitral late diastolic velocity; E = transmitral early diastolic velocity.
