Prognostic implications of tissue Doppler imaging-derived e/ea ratio in acute heart failure patients.

Echocardiography. 2015 Feb;32(2):213-20, PMID: 24813438

Tissue Doppler-derived transmitral to mitral annular early diastolic velocity ratio (E/Ea), as a noninvasive estimation of left ventricular (LV) filling pressures, is a strong prognosticator in various cardiac scenarios including chronic heart failure; nevertheless, its utility for risk stratification in the whole spectrum of acute heart failure (AHF) patients remains elusive. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the association between E/Ea ratio and 1-year mortality in nonselected patients with AHF.
