Figure 1 Representative hemodynamic and Doppler traces of a patient with normal left ventricular diastolic pressure (LVDP) at rest (A) and an increase in LVDP with exercise (B). At rest, the mean LVDP is 13.2 mm Hg and the ratio of early diastolic transmitral velocity to early diastolic tissue velocity (E/E’) is 12.1. With exercise, the mean LVDP increases to 18.0 mm Hg and the E/E’ increases to 17.1.
