Fig. 5. Plots relating changes in end-diastolic pressure (EDP) with leg elevation to corresponding changes in peak E-wave velocity (top ) and in deceleration time (bottom ). A close relation was observed between changes in EDP and changes in peak E-wave velocity and deceleration time. Patients in whom leg elevation resulted in a major increase in EDP showed an increase in E-wave velocity and a decrease in deceleration time, indicating development of a restrictive transmitral filling pattern (filled squares).
