Figure 3 Scatter plots depicting the relationship of Logn B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) to early diastolic (Ea) (upper panel) and late diastolic (Aa) (middle panel) mitral annular velocities from tissue Doppler imaging. The lower panel depicts the relationship of Log BNP to the ratio of early transmitral to early mitral annular velocities (E/Ea).
