AR presence is variable. It is indicative of abnormal AR presence is variable. It is indicative of abnormal elevated LA pressure in a neonate, but may be normal in a elevated LA pressure in a neonate, but may be normal in a child with more compliant pulmonary veins.

Demonstrated by Garcia et al., JACC 1999, that in both dogs with occluded IVC and in adults undergoing CABG, under partial CPB, measures were not affected Although, MV E waves and associated measures were impacted
by each scenario In dogs, under various doses of dobutamine and esmolol, there
were expected changes of Vp correlating to measured changes of LVEDp

Tricuspid and Right Heart Evaluation
Usual measures performed on MV, are influenced by variable preload through the respiratory cycle.
With inspiration amongst children Peak E may increase by 26% Peak A may increase by 20%
Tricuspid and Right Heart Evaluation
SVC inflow invariably does not have AR amongst healthy children
AR-wave usually seen with: Right atrial hypertension Tricuspid stenosis
Reversal with ventricular systole Significant tricuspid regurgitation Loss of AV-synchrony Restrictive physiology
Decreased flow of systemic veins or TV inflow with Exhalation seen with Tamponade MV E-wave decreases by >25% during onset of
INhalation
Tricuspid and Right Heart Evaluation
In a restrictive, non-compliant RV, which acts essentially as a conduit for the PA Forward flow may be seen in PA with
atrial systole Only in settings with low PVR or absence
of distal stenoses May be seen in those with history of
Tetralogy or Pulmonary valve abnormalities
Classification of Diastolic Dysfunction
Classification of Diastolic Dysfunction
Abnormal LV Relaxation
The ability of the LV myocardial filaments to actively uncouple after systole, is delayed
Ventricular compliance is unaffected
IVRT is prolonged, as time needed to decrease LV pressure < LA pressure is extended
Abnormal LV Relaxation LA-LV pressure
difference in early diastole narrowed – max E-wave velocity decreased
LV relaxation is slower, so E-wave is prolonged
A-wave increased as a compensatory to complete LV filling

Abnormal LV Relaxation
Infamous “L-wave” seen in MV inflow pattern Described by Keren in 1986 Presence of LA-LV pressure gradient in diastasis Occurs with MARKEDLY delayed LV relaxation
Abnormal LV Relaxation … and LA Hypertension
Also called “Pseudonormalization” Result of worsened ventricular
compliance with transmitted increase of atrial pressure
Ultimately, relative pressure difference between LA-LV is similar to normal, just at higher pressure
Pulmonary vein inflow pattern helpful to distinguish this from normal
Abnormal LV Relaxation … and LA Hypertension
TDI has been shown to be relatively independent of preload Abali et al, JASE 2005, studied 100+ adult
males after 500mL blood donation, found no differences in TDI measures or Color M-mode, Vp
Eidem et al, JASE 2005, found that children with chronic LV preload (VSD’s) and preserved systolic and diastolic function, did not have changes in TDI
Those with chronic afterload (AS) demonstrated decreases of TDI measures
Abnormal LV Relaxation … and LA Hypertension
Nagueh et al, JACC 1997 125 adults, 60 cathed for PCWP,
separated Normal from Impaired Relaxation from Pseudnormalized (EF low in this group)
Found E/Ea >10 correlated to PCWP of >12mmHg Sensitivity 91%, Specificity 81%
Nagueh et al, JACC 1997
Could predict mean PCWP= 1.24(E/Ea ) +1.9
TDI in Pseudonormalization
Nagueh et al, JACC 1997, 30; 1527-33
Color M-mode in Pseudonormalization
Helpful to differentiate normal MV inflow patterns from ‘pseudonormalization’
Decreased rate of flow propagation (Vp) correlate with delayed relaxation, even with elevated LA pressure
Measures are preload independent Measure of MV peak E velocity to rate of
flow propagation, E/ Vp > 2.0 predicts LVEDp >15mmHg (sensitivity 100%, specificity 77%)

Vs Strength of Filling
In a recent article by Stewart et al., JACC Imaging 2011
Found that in addition to a decreased filling velocity (Vp) with diastolic dysfunction, the velocity further slowed closer to the MV than the apex (Li)
Vs= Vp x Li
Found this measure to have better correlation to gold-standard than Vp alone
Would like to see used with other measures to further strengthen accuracy and separation of abnormal states
Looking at Vp
69 cm/s
E/Vp= 2.0
Estimated PCWP = 4.5(103/[2•IVRT]+FPV)-94.5(103/[2•60]+69)-9= 15 mmHg
Simplified version = 103/[2•IVRT]+FPV 103/[2•60]+69= 5.2
To summarize our non-invasive data
E/Vp= 2.0
So by our echo data…
I would classify this patient as having
RESTRICTIVE PHYSIOLOGY
He just so happened to have been cathed just before I
obtained these measures… I did not know these results
Disease states
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy Chronic disease states
HOCM
Abnormalities of E/Ea, color M-mode flow propagation, and diastolic strain rates have correlated with abnormal relaxation and predict LV filling pressures.
TDI (DTI) has been found to be predictive of adverse outcomes E/Ea >12 predicted risk for SCD, Cardiac
Arrest, and VT Those without, events had range 7.4-11.2 Those with symptoms had ratio higher
compared to those without (11.9 vs 8.1)
Distinguishing HOCM from Athletic Heart
Diastolic TDI annular patterns, IVRT, and LA volume have identified HOCM in absence of pathologic changes
Early diastolic TDI velocities (Ea) Athletes: normal to increased HOCM: consistently decreased, often
Ea/Aa <1.
Children with Chronic Dz’s
Renal failure Those on dialysis had changes on echo
compared to normal controls: Increased LV mass with preserved systolic function Evidence of diastolic dysfunction: higher E’s, lower
Ea’s and therefore increased E/Ea ratios
Obesity Demonstrated changes with Ea (↓) and Aa (↑)
velocities where the ratio Ea/Aa was < controls Demonstrated changes with strain rate imaging
also noted
Children with Chronic Dz’s
Obstructive sleep apnea Evidence of diastolic dysfunction
correlated with severity of sleep apnea Measures improved with effective
therapies Anthracycline toxicity
Demonstrated changes with Ea (↓) and Aa (↑) velocities, Ea/Aa ratio is ↓↓↓
Persists over time, even without evidence of systolic dysfunction
Congenital Heart Disease
Aortic Stenosis Measures are more pronounced in more
severe disease Does not resolve immediately with relief
of obstruction Changes/improvement correlate more
with degree of ventricular hypertrophy
Congenital Heart Disease
Single ventricles Demonstrated impaired relaxation,
decreased peak E velocities, presence of mid-diastolic filling waves, decreased E/A velocity ratio
Different pulmonary venous inflow patterns due to different sources of pulmonary antegrade blood flow
In well functioning single ventricles, biphasic pulmonary venous inflow still seen (mid-systolic peak, and late diastolic peak)
Congenital Heart Disease
Single ventricles With decrease ventricular systolic function
Decreased systolic flow in PV Increased late diastolic flow in PV Seems to correlate with changes in EF
Serial studies in HLHS No differences in early stages within 1st
year of life Need more longitudinal studies
Congenital Heart Disease
TGA Atrial Switches (Senning/Mustard)
Found to have decrease IVCT, and sensitive to changes of systemic RV dysfunction in adolescents and young adults
Measures of TDI are lower than normals, as expected
More data needed for the population, esp Arterial Switches
