Significant beat-to-beat variability of E/e' irrespective of respiration

Significant beat-to-beat variability of E/e' irrespective of respiration

The E/e' ratio is commonly used in Doppler echocardiographic examinations to estimate the pulmonary capillary wedge pressure. The rationale of using this ratio is to combine left ventricular (LV) filling (E) and relaxation (e') velocities to indirectly assess left atrial pressure. However,...
