From: Assessment of left ventricular diastolic function by MR: why, how and when
A 63-year-old woman with a long-standing history of hypertension and normal systolic function. (a) Transmitral inflow analysis shows an E wave (E) lower than the A wave (A) and an E/A ratio <1 due to reduced LV filling in early diastole indicating a grade I diastolic dysfunction (abnormal LV relaxation). (b) Pulmonary venous flow analysis demonstrates a systolic flow peak (S) higher than the diastolic (D) with normal reversed flow (AR)
