Abstract
Mid-diastolic mitral annular motion may be driven by strain energy, an energy for myocardial recoil, stored during the previous systole. Hence, various patterns of mid-diastolic mitral annular motion may imply different left ventricular (LV) diastolic function. The purpose of this study is to compare LV diastolic properties among different types of mid-diastolic mitral annular motion. Two-hundred and three consecutive subjects underwent an echocardiographic examination at our outpatient clinic. Study subjects were classified into three groups according to mid-diastolic mitral annular motion patterns. Upward and downward La waves were defined, respectively, as a clear apically and atrially directed mid-diastolic annular motion on at least three consecutive beats with the average peak velocity > or =2 cm/s. Subjects with upward La wave, with downward but without upward La wave and without La wave were categorized as groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Early diastolic mitral annular velocity (Ea) was higher and the ratio of transmitral E wave velocity to Ea was lower in group 1 than in groups 2 and 3 (all p < 0.001). The diagnostic accuracy of upward La wave in prediction of normal diastolic function fell between 75% and 88%. In conc...Continue Reading
