Exponential relationship of early to atrial ratios (E/A) as function of age in healthy volunteers. Gaussian fitted filling volumes (FVR, solid line, 95% confidence interval by dashed lines), and peak filling rates (PFRR, red line) were determined by (A) inclusion of trabeculae and papillary muscles into the myocardium (TPM-myo) and (B) into the blood pool (TPM-blood). With TPM-myo, coefficients of determination were significantly higher for FVR (r2 = 0.89 vs. r2 = 0.66) and PFRR (r2 = 0.85 vs. r2 = 0.56). Intra-individual follow-up measurements (n = 2–4) in four subjects are connected by trend lines
