Abstract
Transient elevation of LV diastolic pressure above LA pressure can occur in severe aortic regurgitation in the diastasis phase. Mitral E wave reversal in such a situation could serve as non-invasive evidence of elevated left ventricular diastolic pressures, thereby guiding therapeutic decision making.
