LV Diastolic function in AF – Cardiology MCQ – Answer

LV Diastolic function in AF – Cardiology MCQ – Answer
Which of the following is not useful for assessment of left ventricular diastolic function in atrial fibrillation (AF)? Correct answer: 1. Mitral Doppler E/A ratio
A variety of other parameters have been reported to be useful in assessing diastolic function and left ventricular filling pressures by echocardiography in the presence of atrial fibrillation. They include mitral E wave deceleration time, ratio of mitral E wave to tissue Doppler derived mitral annular e’, color M-mode derived Vp and the ratio of mitral E wave to Vp, peak pulmonary vein diastolic flow velocity, pulmonary vein diastolic wave deceleration time, peak acceleration of the mitral E wave, isovolumetric relaxation time and the ratio of isovolumetric relaxation time to the time between the onsets of mitral E wave and the mitral annular e’ wave.
